About the event
During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, the Religious News Service documented moments of joy and cooperation, as well as violence and struggle, as grassroots and interdenominational groups battled racial discrimination. Impelled by their beliefs, many Black Americans and their allies protested, prayed, defied unjust laws, risked their lives, and crossed racial and religious lines to strive for equality and a better society—a fight that continues today. The Presbyterian Historical Society has created a photo exhibit of images from the RNS Photograph Collection that provide a window into coverage of the Civil Rights Movement, illuminating lesser-known stories of people of faith who fought for justice. The exhibit is on display in the Chapel (adjacent to the Upper Room) through the Lenten season.
