The Alabama State University National Center for the Study of Civil Rights and African-American Culture is a research institute and repository in Montgomery, Alabama, for the collection of civil rights and African-American cultural documents, artifacts, and other memorabilia. Such a collection encompasses and allows for the study of the interdisciplinary, diverse, and disparate character of civil

rights and African-American culture. Although this undertaking naturally encompasses and extends to other resources throughout the state, the National Center's focus is on Montgomery and its unique role in American history as the cradle of both the Confederacy and the modern civil rights movement. Inclusive in this mission is an effort to detail lives of African-Americans in Montgomery, their socio-economic and political culture, and their history. As a repository, the National Center will networks with the lay community to gather and record the stories of importance to African-American Culture, including those mundane features of daily life that have given African-Americans in Alabama the stamina to endure and overcome racism, poverty, and illiteracy, as well as those features that have provided them the strength, brilliance, and self-esteem to nurture a rich cultural heritage. To that end, the Center will conserve the rich resources of the community by gathering oral histories, collecting privately held multimedia, and documenting the critical contributions of information and resources supplied by African-Americans and organizations such as churches, benevolent societies, federated clubs, civic organizations, fraternal orders, and business. These collections will be cataloged and made available to the public at large. It links with other research centers to connect disparate histories of significance for a comprehensive study of the civil rights movement and African-American culture.
