Scholarship, Education and Defense Fund for Racial Equality

Description

Several of the items in this folder relate to unfair housing practices and other forms of discrimination in places and times outside the Mississippi Summer Project. However, among the Freedom Summer items are a list of Mississippi churches destroyed and damaged during the summer of 1964; an announcement of the first African American registered to vote on Neshoba County, Mississippi's Freedom Day; a December 1964 list of things needed by CORE in Mississippi to continue Freedom Summer projects; a reaction to the arrest of 21 individuals for the murders of the three civil rights workers; and an announcement of CORE's intent to build a community center in Meridian, Mississippi, to honor the three slain civil rights workers. There's also an April 1965 protest against a minstrel show in Providence, Rhode Island.
