Description
The tangipahoa african american heritage museum, in partnership with the robert "BOB" hicks foundation, will locate, collect and digitize all available primary source materials related to the history of the robert hicks house and the 1906 mill house and make these materials accessible to the public through an online digital archive. The houses offered safe havens to civil rights workers and functioned as medical triage centers for injured activists denied treatment at local hospitals during the civil rights ERA, and continued to play a significant role in the history of the civil rights movement in louisiana. An advisory committee will work with the project director to coordinate activities with a variety of consultants to research the history of the houses; acquire materials for digitization; record oral histories; purchase equipment to support project activities; build and design a web site; and create a series of six historical brochures to be distributed at local museums and libraries, welcome centers and schools.
