The American civil rights movement of the twentieth century was a movement against racial segregation and discrimination, in order to secure equal access to basic privileges and rights of U.S. citizenship. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a leader in this movement, and a mock trial of his murder took place in 1993. Martha H. Huie (1931-2014) married author and journalist William Huie, who reported on civil rights, and was good friends with Ernest Withers, a civil rights photographer. The Martha H. Huie Research on Civil Rights Activities in the United States contains newspaper clippings, correspondence, and magazines from 1977 to 2003 about civil rights, focusing on Memphis, Tenessee. The collection also contains civil rights photography by Ernest Withers and articles on civil rights written by William Bradford Huie and Emily Yellin.
