A half-fictional, half-factual chronicle of the events of Mississippi's Freedom Summer 1964 is told by a white college student who joins a revolutionary group and the leader of a civil rights project for youth. Reprint. Tour. IP.
This book gave me a huge appreciation for the civil rights movement, it introduced key players that I did not know like Bob Moses himself. It was also good for me to see how an Ohio native got involved. My hometown was mentioned a few times as well. Its refreshing to know that some white kids from Ohio risked their lives for a summer fighting for human rights in Mississippi. Sticks of a bundle are unbreakable!
