As part of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)’s Bridging Cultures initiative, Created Equal will encourage communities across the country to revisit the history of civil rights in
America and to reflect on the ideals of freedom and equality that have helped bridge deep racial and cultural divides in our civic life. Outstanding documentary films, spanning the period from the 1830s to the 1960s, are the centerpiece for this project. Each
of these films was supported by NEH, and each tells remarkable stories of individuals who challenged the social and legal status quo of deeply rooted institutions, from slavery to segregation.
