Engaging the Long Arc of the Civil Rights Movement Conference
Teaching with Primary Sources–MTSU is partnering with two other TPS programs (at the University of South Carolina and Mars Hill University) in July to sponsor a two-day professional learning opportunity about the long civil rights movement. Dr. Charles M. Payne, the Henry Rutgers Distinguished Professor of African American Studies at Rutgers University-Newark and Director of the Joseph Cornwall Center for Metropolitan Research, will be the keynote speaker at the conference, which will be held at the Auburn Avenue Research Library in Atlanta. The conference is part of a multi-year Civil Rights Fellowship that the TPS programs have been conducting, much of it virtual due to the pandemic. The groups are eager for this in-person conference!
