There is plenty of Northwest content at the library. The image in this post is from a Seattle Black Panther pamphlet from 1969, "Ministry of Information Bulletin #2." You can also hear Nancy Nelson sing two lovely civil rights songs: My Lord, What a Morning and Let Us Break Bread Together. And as elsewhere in the nation, the Civil Rights movement affected more than just African Americans--see this record on the enforcement of the Indian Civil Rights Act.
This is really an exemplary digital history project. The content partners are broad and well-chosen, the content is rich and varied and includes many one-of-a-kind items that would otherwise be unavailable to most researchers, documents are presented along with sound and moving picture files, the site is nicely laid-out and easy to search and navigate. Quite unlike that sill flash site at the Library of Congress I wrote about last week, The Civil Rights Digital Library is a model for serving up historical resources on the web.
