Social Justice Movements in Virginia

Collected by: William & Mary

Archived since: Jan, 2019

Description:

This collection seeks to document the community based social movements across the entirety of Virginia. Virginians organize themselves in a variety of ways, but this collection focuses on community organizations specifically. Community organizing is understood to exclude political campaigns and labor union struggles and instead encompasses neighbors fighting for their community and groups of people mobilizing around their common identities.
