    Thanks for these links to primary sources on the Atlanta Student Movement   Paul DeBacher !  So important for learners to read about the courageous role of students in the Civil Rights Movement.  As part of its Civil Rights Project The Library of Congress also has a oral history interview interview of Lonnie C. King who spent time as director of the Atlanta Student Movement. It’s long but certainly a captivating story.

    I strongly commend the Civil Rights Oral History project https://www.loc.gov/collections/civil-rights-history-project/about-this-collection/ and the story map https://www.loc.gov/ghe/cascade/index.html?appid=4d76cf42caf84b069b0e0235b6996efd created about this collection (another one is forth coming) There is a special essay on Youth in the Civil Rights Movement that may be of interest https://www.loc.gov/collections/civil-rights-history-project/articles-and-essays/youth-in-the-civil-rights-movement/

    Here are some other resources that might be of interest:
