Letters from Mississippi gives us a deeply personal look at one of the Civil Rights Movement's key moments--and reminds us that change happens because regular people have decided they were willing to fight for it.---Marian Wright Edelman, president of the Children's Defense Fund This expanded edition includes over forty pages of poetry by students in the Freedom Schools of 1964, adding the lively voices of local participants, mostly teenagers, to those of the volunteers from the North. The new edition also includes an additional dozen biographies, resulting in a wider resource for scholarship and for a general understanding of this critical moment in civil rights history Skryť popis
