Civil Rights in a Northern City, a new online database created by Temple Libraries, contains more than 1,500 digitized materials pertaining to Philadelphia's civil rights movement. The site is geared towards scholars and students, but organizers expect the general public will tap into the city's civil rights history as well. "One of the things we’re trying to lift up on this site is that in northern cities it was often more contentious than in the south," said Margery Sly, director of Temple's Special Collections Research Center.
