Washington State University has on line information regarding two oral history databases one of the Civil Rights Movement and another of African Americans in the west. I've copied the description from the website and included a link. Hope it is helpful.

Civil Rights Oral History Interviews: In February of 2001, the Spokesman-Review produced a month long series of articles on black history titled "Through Spokane's Eyes Moments in Black History," focusing in particular on the civil rights movement of the 1960s. As part of that series, Rebecca Nappi conducted a series of interviews with individuals with ties to both the civil rights movement and to Spokane.

Black Oral History Interviews: The Black Oral History Collection consists of interviews conducted by Quintard Taylor and his associates, Charles Ramsay and John Dawkins. They interviewed African American pioneers and their descendents.
