​​This year, we’re celebrating the 60th anniversary of Freedom Summer, a 1964 voter registration drive that significantly increased the number of registered Black voters in Mississippi. In 1964, Robert Moses, a local secretary for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) sncclegacy, hatched a plan to fight against disenfranchisement in Mississippi. The goal? 🏫 To establish Freedom Schools and community centers throughout Mississippi. 🗳️ To increase Black voter registration. 🏛️ To challenge the all-white delegation that would represent Mississippi at the Democratic National Convention. They succeeded. ✊🏾 Stay tuned to learn about the heroes and events of this historic summer–starting with the SNCC activist Robert Moses! #FreedomSummer #CivilRightsMovement #VotingRights #BlackHistoryEveryDay #MarchOnxFreedomSummer
