Fifty years after Freedom Summer, To Write in the Light of Freedom
offers a glimpse into the hearts of the African American youths who
attended the Mississippi Freedom Schools in 1964. One of the most
successful initiatives of Freedom Summer, more than forty Freedom
Schools opened doors to thousands of young African American
students. Here they learned civics, politics, and history,
curriculum that helped them instead of the degrading lessons
supporting segregation and Jim Crow and sanctioned by White
Citizen's Councils. Young people enhanced their self-esteem and
gained a new outlook on the future. And at more than a dozen of
these schools, students wrote, edited, printed and published their
own newspapers. For more than five decades, the Mississippi Freedom
Schools have served as powerful models of educational activism.
Yet, little has been published that documents black Mississippi
youths' responses to this profound experience.
