Upon reflecting on 2020 and the major uprisings that happened here and across the country, we saw comments describe people protesting in the streets as “not Omaha.” Quite the contrary, Omaha has a deep history rooted in violence and racism, but also social responsibility and advocacy. This history though is often not shared or known and therefore becomes forgotten. As an information and news organization, we felt it was our duty to unearth this history and make it available to the masses, which led us to create the Omaha Civil Rights History Timeline.
