Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project

The Civil Rights Restorative Justice Project is an initiative by the Northeastern University School of Law to document every racially motivated killing in the American South between 1930 and 1970.[1] The project aims to serve as a resource for scholars, policymakers, and organizers involved in various initiatives seeking justice for crimes of the civil rights era. CRRJ focuses on research, particularly concerning cold cases, and remediation efforts.

In December 2014, the Project successfully helped to vacate the conviction of George Stinney.[2]
