Description
This folder reveals the deep concern, even panic, experienced by parents and grandparents of volunteers who participated in Freedom Summer. Pamela Parker Allen's parents and grandparents wrote letters to all their elected public officials, participated in the Mississippi Project Parents Committee, and actively supported the MDFP's convention challenge. Items from the Congressional Record, which open this folder, include Hubert Humphrey's speech on the Civil Right Bill of 1964 and Harrison William's June 1964 description of the Mississippi Summer Project. Following the disappearance of three civil rights workers on the first day of Freedom Summer, numerous letters to public officials ask for federal protection for civil rights workers. Their responses are included. An editorial on Freedom Summer from the Washington Post appears, as well as an invitation to a Pennsylvania cocktail party where returned Freedom Summer volunteers were to tell about their experiences in Mississippi.
