As a powerful means of achieving our mission, JtoJ\u2019s first project, beginning in 2013, was the creation of a multi-media travelling exhibition focused on the US civil rights movement and <\/b>its links with the UK.\u00a0 Planned and researched by a team of JtoJ volunteers (see credits), designed by HKD and built by Keyboard Group, it is a dynamic mix of photos, music, poetry, art, films and audio, interactive features and installations. Using a series of \u2018bus stops\u2019 and placards we <\/span>tell the stories of some of the <\/b>less well-known men, women and children involved in the movement, people of all ages and ethnicities, whose voices are not often heard but without whom it would not have happened \u2013 people like \u2018us\u2019. <\/span>Universal freedom songs play throughout, on our specially created juke box.<\/p>\n

The exhibition examines what leads people to become and stay active in campaigns and what makes a human rights movement succeed. \u00a0There is also always a section telling the story of a local campaign for justice to be chosen by a team who know the area.<\/span><\/p>\n
