Abstract:

On August 15-19, NC Central University hosted the first annual National Civil Rights Reunion and African-American Leadership Training Institute. The purpose was to reunite those who fought for civil rights during the 1960s and to educate and inspire the next generation of activists. Freedom Riders, members of the NAACP, the Congress of Racial Equality, and members of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, among others, were present and spoke at the conference.
