"'And the Struggle Continues' highlights the efforts of one of the most important human rights organizations to challenge the oppressive political and economic systems of the 20th century."
Based on the extensive Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) records housed in Emory University’s Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library, the exhibition reveals how SCLC exposed and transformed a status quo that allowed millions to suffer from poverty, environmental degradation, health care disasters, hunger, homelessness, disfranchisement, and a brutal criminal justice system. It waged these battles on a political terrain that had been fundamentally altered since the organization as created in 1957.
