ITEM OVERVIEW
During the summer of 1964, a coalition of civil rights organizations sent volunteers into Mississippi to expand black voter registration in the state, to challenge the whites-only Mississippi Democratic Party, to establish "freedom schools," and to open community centers. Letters from Mississippi is a collection of moving, personal letters written by volunteers of the summer.
Out of print for thirty years, this edition contains a new preface by its editor, Elizabeth Sutherland Martinez, an introduction by Julian Bond, and explanatory endnotes and never-before-published photgraphs!
