Harford Civil Rights Project 2.0.4

Harford Civil Rights is a free mobile application designed to educate users about the significant events of the 20th Century African American civil rights movement in Harford County, Maryland. Situated in central Maryland within the greater Baltimore region, this app highlights the courageous actions taken by civil rights activists, educators, and students during the 1950s and 1960s, as they challenged the pervasive segregation of the time. Their efforts included campaigns to desegregate public schools, businesses, and hospitals, participation in the 1961 Freedom Ride, and protests against discriminatory housing practices. Additionally, the movement sought to combat employment discrimination and improve race relations in the community.

Within Harford Civil Rights, users will find location-based sites that provide insights into key events, influential figures, and notable outcomes that reflect the region's contributions to the civil rights movement. The app features a variety of resources such as text descriptions, images, oral history recordings, and other materials that collectively enhance understanding of the civil rights history specific to the greater Harford area.
