Freedom Summer was a campaign in the United States launched during the summer of 1964 to attempt to register as many African American voters as possible in the southern states. Over 1,000 volunteers helped out. The program was aimed atMississippi, where the African American population exceeded 45%, and only 5% voted. It registered 1,600 more blacks. The program also established many summer schools in Mississippi to try and counteract the state's inequitably-funded school system.
The goals of the freedom summer were making the nation and the federal government see that segregation was wrong. The people involved wanted to register voters and de-segregate public transportation, and restaurants, etc.
