Freedom Summer
View through CrossRef
Abstract
In June 1964, over 1,000 volunteers - most of them white, northern college students - arrived in Mississippi to campaign for black enfranchisement and teach at ‘freedom schools’ as part of the Freedom Summer campaign organized by the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. Within 10 days, three were murdered; by summer’s end, another had died and hundreds more had endured bombings, beatings, and arrests. This is the first book to gauge the impact of Freedom Summer on the project volunteers and the period we now call the ‘turbulent 60s’.
