The campaign was called "Freedom Summer." But on the evening after volunteers arrived, three young civil rights workers went missing, presumed victims of the Ku Klux Klan. The disappearance focused America's attention on Mississippi. In the days and weeks that followed, volunteers and local black activists faced intimidation, threats, and violence from white people who didn't believe African Americans should have the right to vote. As the summer unfolded, volunteers were arrested or beaten. Black churches were burned. More Americans came to Mississippi, including doctors, clergymen, and Martin Luther King. A few frightened volunteers went home, but the rest stayed on in Mississippi, teaching in Freedom Schools, registering voters, and living with black people as equals. Freedom Summer brought out the best and the worst in America. The story told within these pages is of everyday people fighting for freedom, a fight that continues today. 'Freedom Summer for Young People' is a riveting account of a decisive moment in American history, sure to move and inspire readers"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Grades 7-9 $b Seven Stories Press. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $z Mississippi $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $z Mississippi $x History $y 20th century. 610 20 $a Mississippi Freedom Project. 610 20 $a Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (U.S.) 650 0 $a Civil rights movements $z Mississippi $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Civil rights workers $z Mississippi $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Mississippi $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Young adult literature. 655 7 $a Instructional and educational works. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Stefoff, Rebecca, $d 1951- $e adaptor. 700 12 $i Adaptation of (expression): $a Watson, Bruce, $d 1953- $t Freedom Summer. 941 $a 4 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518024756.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210428013141.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20210206010621.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201120010718.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2EBCFA5E2AFE11EB800EF4DD4BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
