Freedom Summer, by Sally Belfrage

“The summer of 1964 was the summer in which three civil rights volunteers were murdered in Mississippi. With hundreds of others they had been challenging the established order of the most resistant state in the South.  Sally Belfrage was in Ohio when their disappearance was announced, undergoing a week’s training before following in their tracks.”

“Miss Belfrage’s book begins with this event and continues to describe her own ‘Freedom Summer’, spent in Greenwood, the headquarters of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.”

Published in 1966 by Andre Deutsch Limited, hardcover with intact jacket, 246 pages, good condition. On a blank page at the start of the book, a  previous owner has written a pledge that demonstrators in the Freedom Movement apparently signed.
