MISSISSIPPI PROJECT PARENTS COMMITTEE
100 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y.
Dear Parents:
U R G E N T I
We have been conferring with publishers about the publication of a r
be ok of letters sent to relatives or friends by the volunteers in the
.I'ssissippi Summer Project. COFO agrees with us that such a volume will be
.a-.valuable financially (tlie Mississippi Project will receive all royalties),
and James Forman is enthusiastic about the possibilities of such a book and
:*.ts certain benefits to the Project,
We know, too, that your sons and daughters will want to share their
enthusiasm, knowledge, and deep, abiding commitment to the Project with all
the people of our country.
We have obtained the (voluntary) services of a publisher's consultant
who will advise us on the mechanics of publishing, and an editor selected by
COFO will work with the publisher's editor to ensure that the letters are
properly presented from COFO's viewpoint.
Speed in getting the letters to us is essential, since preparation
and publication takes time, so we urge"you~to act quickly as follows:
(1) Send us copies of letters, stories, poems, snapshots, drawings,
etc, (You or your child may edit out all personal material not
pertinent to the Project,) Address to Parents Committee, Letter
File, at above address,
(2) Sign (If your child is under 21 years of age) or instruct your
child to sign the enclosed release which was prepared for us
by COFO's lawyer.
We are sending a memo about the above to all the project centers in
Mississippi,
Yours in Freedom,
Jacqueline Bernard
