Crossroads to Freedom connects the world with Memphis history through an archive of documents, newspapers, images and oral histories. Our goal is to empower Memphians to tell the stories of our city and region as a vital aspect of participation in the future of our community.

Check out our new in-progress collections: "Chitlin' Circuit Clubs" and "King Cotton and Parallel Societies," both of which include items from Memphis Public Library collections.

You can view clips from select interviews on our YouTube channel. Like us on Facebook for regular updates and collection highlights.
