These oral history interviews were part of the requirements for students in a journalism class entitled "The Press and Coverage of the American Civil Rights Movement" (JMC: 3400:0003), taught by Associate Professor Stephen J. Berry in the fall 2014 semester at the University of Iowa's School of Journalism and Mass Communication. He compiled them into a project entitled "Iowans in the Struggle for Civil Rights and Social Justice: An Oral History." Prof. Berry, on behalf of the class, has donated them to the University of Iowa Libraries Special Collections and Archives.
