The Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere has co-sponsored a project of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program (SPOHP), which conducts ongoing research in the Mississippi Delta on the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi by interviewing veteran civil rights activists and leading scholars of the movement.

The Mississippi Freedom Project (MFP) is an award-winning archive of 200+ oral history interviews conducted with veterans of the civil rights movement and notable residents of the Mississippi Delta.

The collection centers on activism and organizing in partnership with the Sunflower County Civil Rights Organization in Sunflower, Mississippi.
