Civilrights.org   -- Civilrights.org is a collaboration of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund. Its mission is to serve as the site of record for relevant and up-to-the minute civil rights news and information. Home to socially-concerned, issue-oriented original audio, video, and written programming, civilrights.org serves as an online nerve center not only for fighting discrimination in all its forms, but also for building the public understanding essential to our nation's journey toward social and economic justice.  www.civilrights.org/

The Civil Rights Project -- The Civil Rights Project aims to help renew the civil rights movement by bridging the worlds of ideas and action. Focusing initially on education reform, it has convened dozens of national conferences and roundtables; commissioned over 90 new research and policy studies; produced major reports on desegregation, student diversity, school discipline, special education, and dropouts; and published a number of books. In any given month, CRP work is quoted in such national media as The Village Voice, The New York Times, Time Magazine and The News Hour with Jim Lehrer   --  www.civilrightsproject.harvard.edu/
