The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) is a non-profit legal advocacy organization
based in New York City. The Center was initially established to provide legal services
and financial support to lawyers representing civil rights movement activists in Mississippi,
but has since broaded its focus to civil liberties and human rights activism and litigation
more generally. This unprocessed collection of records created or collected by CCR
consists of correspondence, political ephemera, newspaper clippings, websites, research
files, and legal documents, including briefs, motions, and trial transcripts documenting
the organization's legal advocacy.
