| Folder Description | This folder on the Mississippi Summer Project opens with a letter to university faculty, asking for faculty volunteers for Freedom Summer. The familiar "Prospectus for the Mississippi Freedom Summer" follows, along with a "Memo to Freedom Centers" on the screening of applicants and development of freedom school curricula. It also includes the following: a COFO pamphlet on "Mississippi Freedom Summer." A SNCC pamphlet on the "Mississippi Summer Project." The familiar memo to "Mississippi Freedom School Teachers." A blank application form for summer volunteers. A SNCC press release about shifting its headquarters from Atlanta to Greenwood for the summer. Letters to volunteers about what to bring and to expect in Mississippi and in their orientation programs in Oxford, Ohio. Biographical sketches of leaders of an unidentified west coast (?) seminar. A Stanford University document entitled "Information Sheet - Project Mississippi" explains the rationale for Freedom Summer and the role its students played in Mississippi in 1963. A SNCC memo called "Memorandum: On the SNCC Mississippi Summer Project." A long list of Freedom Summer workers in the state as of June 29, 1964. An unattributed but proud document written just after Freedom Summer called "The Mississippi Summer Project" touches on each Freedom Summer site and some of the high and low points of the summer. |
