Nonviolence and Freedom Summer
Two citizens from our community were directly involved with SNCC (Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee) and Freedom Summer in 1964. That year they faced violence, threats and the death of their friends to help register voters and to give them a voice in our political system. Their experiences are relevant for today, as the Occupy Movement is again trying to give ordinary people a voice in our government.
