Freedom Summer Articles by Movement Veterans
Photos
[Terminology — In the articles below, various
authors use either "Summer Project," or "Freedom Summer," or both
interchangeably. This section uses "Freedom Summer" to refer to the
totality of Movement efforts in Mississippi over the summer of 1964,
including the "Mississippi Summer Project" organized and led by
COFO/SNCC, and the efforts of organizations such as Medical Committee
for Human Rights (MCHR), National Council of Churches (NCC) and other
religious groups, National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), and the
various legal support operations such as the ACLU, National Lawyers
Guild (NLG), NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund, Lawyer's
Constitutional Defense Committee (LCDC) and so on.
In most of these articles, the term "volunteer" refers to people from
out of state — Black and white — who
came to Mississippi for Freedom Summer, though of course, the many,
many thousands of Black Mississippians who participated were also
unpaid volunteers. ]
