Description

Starting with Charlie Cobb's January 1964 proposal for freedom schools (originally conceived as a 2-month boarding school project for 10th and 11th-graders), this folder continues with freedom school teacher Ira Landess's first and last reports from the new freedom schools. The "Declaration of Independence" and other essays and newspapers by freedom school students are also included. A September 1964 list of COFO freedom centers and their managers, a letter from Dennis Sweeney arranging a field trip to New York City for his students, "Freedom School Data," "Profile of Typical Freedom Schools," and "Resources for Discussion of the Poor in America" are other items in this folder.
