Freedom Summer (also known as the Mississippi Summer Project) was a campaign in the United States launched in June 1964 to attempt to register as many, African American voters as possible in Mississippi which had historically excluded most blacks from voting. The project also set up dozens of Freedom Schools, Freedom Houses, and community centers in small towns throughout Mississippi to aid the local black population.
One of the key programs designed to register African American voters in the South was the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This legislation aimed to eliminate barriers to voting, such as literacy tests and poll taxes, which were used to disenfranchise Black voters. Additionally, grassroots organizations like the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) actively worked to register voters and mobilize communities during the Civil Rights Movement. These efforts were crucial in increasing voter registration and participation among African Americans in the South.
