I, _Doris S. Lewis_______________________________________, understand
that Rhodes College, Memphis, Tennessee, has organized and is managing
and operating a project, known as the Crossroads to Freedom Digital
Archive Project, (CFDA), to collect and record audio and/or video oral
histories from persons involved in or having information about the
Civil Rights movement, especially in the Mid-South area, and to
collect, preserve, exhibit, and publish these and related materials,
including without limitation photographs and manuscripts. These will
be deposited in the collection of the Crossroads to Freedom Digital
Archive and may be published and used online and in other ways.
These materials will serve as a record of the participants’
experiences and may be used for scholarly, educational, and
promotional purposes.
In consideration of the agreement of Rhodes College/CFDA to do so, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which I hereby acknowledge, I agree to participate in this project
by contributing information, including interviews, and perhaps other
materials, documents and things. I understand that I will receive no
monetary payment or other compensation for participating in this
project or for the interview(s), information, materials or things I
provide to the project, or for their use, exhibition, and publication.
I understand that my interview(s) will be recorded and that the
contents of my interview(s) will be transcribed in writing. Following
the interview(s), I will receive audio or video recording(s) and
transcript(s) of the interview(s).
I understand that I will have an opportunity to review, correct, and
edit the transcript of the interviews. I agree to assist with this
review in a timely fashion and to make every effort to ensure the
accuracy of the information I contribute.
I hereby grant to Rhodes College/CFDA the non-exclusive rights to any
audio and video recordings and transcripts resulting from my
participation, as well as the non-exclusive rights to any other
property or things that are the product of my participation including
without limitation performance, photographs, and written materials.
I understand that Rhodes College/CFDA plans to retain the products of
my participation as part of the archive and that the materials will be
used for exhibition, publication, and publication on the World Wide
Web, any successor technologies, and other media, and for scholarly,
educational, and promotional purposes.
I grant to Rhodes College/CFDA my absolute and irrevocable consent for
the use, exhibition, and publication of any photograph(s), videos,
documents, or things provided by me or received from me in the course
of my participation to be used and published by Rhodes College/CFDA in
any medium.
I agree that Rhodes College/CFDA may use my name, video or
photographic image or likeness, statements, performance, and voice
reproduction, or other sound effects, and all other documents and
things received from me or resulting from my participation in the
project without further approval on my part.
I hereby release Rhodes College and CFDA, and their respective
Trustees, Officers, Directors, agents, and employees (the “Released
Parties”), from any and all claims and demands arising out of or in
connection with the use of such recordings, documents, artifacts, or
other things provided by me, including but not limited to, any claims
for defamation, invasion of privacy, or right of publicity, and agree
to indemnify and hold the Released Parties harmless from any claim by
any third party, including without limitation any claim based upon
alleged defamation, breach of privacy, or other cause of action.
I agree that Rhodes College and CFDA shall have the right to assign
