On Friday, the Newseum opened a new exhibit, “1965: Civil Rights at 50.” In the display are newspapers from the time, including this March 8, 1965 edition of the Dallas Morning News.

The Newseum also has “Make Some Noise: Students and the Civil Rights Movement.” That exhibit includes a collection of things from Ferguson, Missouri, such as reporters’ notebooks and press passes.
