experiences, and contributions African Americans made to the greater

richresource for those interested in African American life

Behind
the Veil: "Behind the Veil: Documenting African American Life in the Jim
Crow South represents an effort to correct historical misrepresentations of African American
experiences during the period of legal segregation in the U.S. The project,
a collaborative research effort, does this by encouraging scholars to
listen to the voices of those who survived an era of profound racial
oppression." Much of this site is still under construction.
