"As events unfold before your very eyes,
the following information becomes more relevant than ever!"

Medgar Evers gave his life in the struggle for Human Rights.

He was shot in the back by a racist murderer while working to register African-Americans to vote.

After more than 40 years . . .

isn't it about time to

come out of the wilderness?
(And off of the plantation.)

It's been a long time coming . . .

Those people who do not vote (and hold the elected officials

accountable), unless it is for reasons of religious conscientious

convictions, are in our opinion very foolish.

Maybe they should try not eating, not drinking and not breathing and see

how much good that does them.

In this 44th anniversary year of "Mississippi Freedom Summer" it is

very tragic to see how soon and how much some people forget.

No wonder Bill Cosby is so concerned and angry - (We have a

transcript of his original speech at the Brown - Topeka anniversary).

We share most of his sentiments.

Mississippi Freedom Summer

"Don't come to Mississippi this summer to save the Mississippi Negro,"
SNCC organizer Bob Moses instructed the volunteers who attended the Summer Project's training sessions in June 1964.
"Only come if you understand, really understand, that his freedom and yours are one."

SOME MISSING KEYS
TO VOTER EMPOWERMENT

In the 1960's, long before the Internet, cell phones and the widespread availability of fax machines, an amazing educational transformation took place in the United States.

The "Freedom Schools" empowered many people to open doors previously closed solidly in their faces.

In the years since, there has often been much emphasis on voter registration without accompanying voter education in many localities. The results have often been less than satisfactory.

If we review the lessons of the "Freedom Schools" we can apply the relevant elements to our 21st Century circumstances. We certainly have many more technological tools and resources available today.

(Are there any "rappers" listening?)

"Freedom School Curriculum"

In the summer of 1964, over forty "Freedom Schools" opened in Mississippi.
These schools were part of Freedom Summer, a project of the Southern Civil Rights Movement, with the goal to empower African Americans in Mississippi to become active citizens and agents of social change.

The curriculum of the summer "Freedom Schools" was a series of documents that, taken together, offer the best example of a progressive, experiential curriculum that emphasized student-centered teaching and learning-by-doing.

We believe this curriculum is of value to anyone interested in alternative education, especially in the context of small school and summer school programs with a focus on citizenship education and social activism. This website offers teachers and students, as well as scholars and interested citizens, a chance to peruse and use any of the original documents created for the "Freedom Schools."
