Description

This folder opens with the familiar COFO memo for freedom school teachers entitled "Overview of Freedom Schools." There's a memo and survey about freedom schools and whether COFO staff know of buildings in their Mississippi communities that might be available for that purpose; a list of school supplies to be provided by freedom school teachers; and a rough outline of freedom school curricula. The 1964 Platform of the Mississippi Freedom School Convention is also here. Also in this folder are: an article on freedom schools by Liz Fusco. "Overview of Freedom Schools II." A passionate document called "Mississippi Freedom Schools." A list of questions (and answers) raised at the Mississippi Freedom School Convention (?) about freedom schools. A lengthy "Summary of Freedom Summer Curriculum." A list of materials needed for the Mississippi Summer Project. And "Notes on Teaching in Mississippi": advice from Jane Stembridge, Charlie Cobb, Mendy Samstein, and Noel Day.
