Will Garner’s Reviews > Freedom Summer: The Savage Season of 1964 That Made Mississippi Burn and Made America a Democracy > Status Update

rammed, struggle, these have negative connotations and show that the people are hostile and not a safe place, freedom positive, this shows that the people are fighting for racial equality

The style of the book is formal since it goes through the events that happen in the book in a non-biased way, presenting what's going on for both sides. The book uses language to show what was being said about the people participating in the movement.

I think the author wants to tell the story of Freedom Summer and the mistreatment of people. But some of the problems that might be presented are getting accounts and telling them non-biased.

I would say he's credible since he has worked and contributed to the Smithsonian multiple times. So I assume he knows how to get sources and where to get pieces of history.

In the first few pages of the book, it gives us a quick summary of what led up to 1964. It shows us the buildup of tension in Mississippi with the Klan and the mass beating of people of color. I like it because it makes me want to continue and find out how it ends and what happened.

I chose this book because I love history and reading about it when I have the time and the attention span.
