Freedom School Lessons
Image
Image of a Freedom School classroom taken by a civil rights volunteer. Students are seated in what appear to be pews. "Freedom School - Freddie Green, young woman on the extreme right, taught with me in Freedom School, explained the MFDP (Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party) at our second summer freedom meeting, and led our house discussion with eight domestic maids at Mrs. Alexander's. She was trying to educate herself by reading since her schooling had been inadequate."
1965
