During the sweltering summer of 1964, more than seven hundred American college students descended upon segregated, reactionary Mississippi to register black voters and educate black children. On the night of their arrival, the worst fears of a race-torn nation were realized when three young men disappeared, thought to have been murdered by the Ku Klux Klan. Taking readers into the heart of these remarkable months, Freedom Summer shines new light on a critical moment of nascent change in America.\n\n\"Recreates the texture of that terrible yet rewarding summer with impressive verisimilitude.\" -Washington Post\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0143119435\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0143119435.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Watson, Bruce\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
