About That Senior Thesis On Women In The Birmingham Civil Rights Movement

Some good news. Professor Steven Leibo at The Sage Colleges wrote back to me this morning to say that he thinks the thesis is still online but that the links got wrecked when the college reorganized its websites. He is on the case and will be getting back to me.

In the meantime, Peter Wagner, at the Prison Policy Initiative (see also Prisoners of the Census and PrisonSucks.com), found cached versions of the thesis web pages by searching the Wayback Machine, a resource I'd forgotten about, though I've used it before.

The thesis is called "We Were The Heart Of The Struggle:" Women in the Birmingham Civil Rights Movement, by Jocelyn Ulrich.

You can find an introuduction by Jocelyn Ulrich's advisor cached here.
