Even with its many interactive tools, Washington's Newseum relies on American and many international newspapers to illustrate the events in history it describes. The papers are only part of the story but a reoccurring one throughout the journalism museum in the nation's capital.
As an example, in the section of the Newseum dealing with news coverage of criminal investigations, through reproduced newspapers, photographs, and other documents, it highlights one of the grimmest episodes in the U.S. civil rights movement--the murders of three young voter-registration workers in Mississippi in the summer of 1964.
The description of the events then termed them a turning point as congressional passage neared of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Volunteers from elsewhere in the United States who flooded into Southern states to help register black voters had sparked enormous racial animosity.
