Research
Since 2001, much of the SOHP's research effort has been focused on the initiative “The Long Civil Rights Movement: The South Since the 1960s,” which documents the history and evolution of the civil rights movement and other parallel movements in the South, such as the women's movement. These interviews focus on three main areas: race and the public schools, economic justice, and gender and sexuality. In 2008, the SOHP received a $937,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to continue to collaborate in their efforts to produce civil rights movement scholarship.
