A unique digital collection of photos, film, documents, and sound recordings from the Civil Rights era was released by Penn State University Libraries on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. 

The Jack Rabin Collection on Alabama Civil Rights and Southern Activists includes copies of records of the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA), many hours of oral history of the renowned civil liberties lawyer Clifford Durr, as well as hundreds of black-and-white photographs created by the Subversive Unit of the Investigative and Identification Division of the Alabama Department of Public Safety in the course of sit-ins, demonstrations, and marches in several Alabama cities during the early to mid-1960s.
