Looking Back At The Freedom Mississippi Summer

I learned many things about this event that I never knew before. While researching about the Mississippi Freedom Summer, I realized that I barely knew anything about this crucial event during the civil rights movement. I also came across many interesting literary works, articles, and discussions that gave me insight about the topic. I learned that without the 1,000 white volunteers from the north, this movement would have ended before it even started. It was crucial for whites and blacks to fight for a single cause and this was the beginning of the relationship in America between both races.

My perception on the topic did change. I have always wanted to study the African American Civil Rights Movement in further depth and I never knew that the Freedom Summer was so crucial to the civil rights movement. I am so glad that I chose this topic and learned about its importance. I wish I would of had the opportunity to learn about this topic in high school.
