In 1964, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee decided to
establish Freedom Schools as part of its Freedom Summer campaign in
Mississippi. With a curriculum developed by dedicated educators,
SNCC workers, and an equally dedicated staff of teachers and
student volunteers, the schools provided a learning experience and
teaching style that revealed to students who had known only the
"stay in your place" experience of segregated education what
schools should, and could, be. The achievements of the students
involved in Freedom Summer lifted the expectations of students who
followed them and hastened the end of segregated schools in
Mississippi. In Legacy of a Freedom School, Sandra E. Adickes
recalls her experiences working with the SNCC, reminding us all of
the powerful Freedom Summer.
