Civil Rights Elders

Guided by the late Dr. Clarence B. Jones and produced with the USF Institute for Nonviolence and Social Justice, Wondros created Civil Rights Elders: a living educational archive of in-depth interviews with people who worked inside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s movement. The series includes Traveling With Dr. King, funded by the Annenberg Foundation, and additional films supported by the Open Society Foundations. Through long-form interviews, documentary storytelling, and a dedicated digital archive, the project preserves first-person history and makes its lessons available to new generations—connecting the practice of nonviolence to the unfinished work of building a more just society and giving educators, students, and communities a lasting public resource.
