Dr. Ravi K. Perry of Mississippi State University is conducting a research study using surveys and oral histories to determine how living in a city with a history of segregation impacts one’s future political behavior.
To participate, complete the online survey, The Little Rock Crisis: Political Participation Post Integration.
There is also an opportunity for participants to be interviewed in order to chronicle individual experiences of key moments in civil rights history. Collected oral histories will be placed in the Oral History Collection at Mississippi State University Libraries.
