Preserve Legacy

Nominate Someone Whose Story Should Be Preserved

Use this form to recommend a person from the Civil Rights generation, or someone connected to that history, for a future interview.

How this works

Phase 1 does not collect photos, letters, video files, or legacy documents through the website. It only collects nomination information so the project team can contact the right person later.
