Freedom Summer
Freedom Summer was a campaign launched in June 1964 to attempt to register as many African American voters as possible in Mississippi. This project also had set up many freedom schools and freedom houses. In this sate blacks had been denied the right to vote. Many white people showed up and harassed Africans Americans about voting. Many whites and the Ku Klux Klan attacked, arrested, or killed blacks over this. There were few amounts of whites that had helped set this up. Many African Americans did get the chance to register to vote and eventually vote in the state of Mississippi.
