The goals of the Freedom Summer project in 1964 mainly concerned voter registration efforts and expanding civil rights for African Americans in the South. It aimed to increase Black voter participation and challenge discriminatory practices that prevented African Americans from exercising their right to vote.
Freedom Summer
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 Freedom Summer of 1964 played a significant role in paving the way for the Voting Rights Act of 1965. During Freedom Summer, activists worked to register African American voters and brought attention to the systematic voter suppression and discrimination faced by Black Americans in the South. The intense activism and violence faced by civil rights workers during the summer of 1964 helped galvanize public support for the passing of the Voting Rights Act the following year.
