In this transcript of an April 26, 1989, oral history interview conducted by William Link with Cleveland Sellers, Sellers primarily discusses the history, spread, and philosophical background of the civil rights movement, especially as it was perceived in his hometown. He also describes how he came to be active in the civil rights movement, the role of historically black colleges and various other organizations, and the behavior of the FBI, especially their methods of persecuting perceived leaders even after they were no longer active.
