Freedom Summer Volunteers Create Freedom Schools | Iowans Return to Freedom Summer
Discover how Freedom Schools helped to build up a community’s confidence so that the voices of Black voters in the South would be heard for generations in this video adapted from the documentary Iowans Return to Freedom Summer produced by the Keeping History Alive Foundation. Educational resources created and published by Iowa PBS. Freedom Summer volunteers did more than register Black Americans to vote. Marvin Gatch, Marcia Moore, Patti Miller, Lenray Gandy, and Richard Beymer describe their experiences with Freedom Schools in rural Mississippi during the summer of 1964.
