In October 2019, hundreds of friends and supporters gathered in NYC at TheTimesCenter to celebrate the launch of Voices of Alabama, an oral history project that illuminates a group of 20 Civil Rights sites through storytelling.

The discussion was moderated by award-winning journalist Carol Jenkins, and speakers included Alabama Congresswoman Terri A. Sewell, Priscilla Hancock Cooper from the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, and Joyce O'Neal from the Alabama African-American Civil Rights Heritage Sites Consortium.

The Consortium, a 2018 World Monuments Watch site, includes 20 sites in Montgomery, Selma, and Birmingham that played significant roles in the African-American struggle for freedom.
