In September 2013, Flagler College unveiled the Civil Rights Library of St. Augustine – an internet-based multimedia archive documenting the St. Augustine civil rights movement. The interdisciplinary project includes archival footage from Young, a civil rights leader and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. associate. Thanks to the efforts of history Professor Michael Butler and his former student Jillian McClure, ‘11. Young donated interviews from his documentary “Crossing in St. Augustine” to Flagler College. “Crossing in St. Augustine” documents the civil rights struggle in St. Augustine in the 1960s, which drew national attention and helped galvanize support for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
