NBC Learn and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation partnered to draw awareness to the Civil Rights movement and jump start new dialogue among students and teachers by releasing more than 100 stories from the NBC News archives and making the content available to schools, colleges, and universities nationwide.

“Finishing the Dream” chronicles the struggles and celebrates the triumphs of the Civil Rights movement over the span of 60 years. The collection is available at www.nbclearn.com/finishingthedream.

The collection includes the most significant moments of the movement including the Montgomery bus boycott, the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., the integration of Central High School in Little Rock, the Freedom Riders, and original documentaries featuring ordinary people, like Rosa Parks who risked their lives to fight for equality.

“I completely agree with the notion that as journalists, we write the first draft of history every single day,” said Steve Capus, President NBC News. “It is an honor and a privilege to share NBC News coverage of the Civil Rights movement with the next generation, and we are thrilled to work with the Kellogg Foundation on such an important initiative.”
