Freedom Summer and Voting Rights

Freedom libraries were established during Freedom Summer to bring library services to Black people who were prevented from using segregated public libraries. These community libraries promoted literacy and made books available to Black Mississippians.

• The Towson Freedom School shares the readings and ideas of underrepresented thinkers/writers, seeks to foster fruitful, intellectual friendships and relationships, and provides access to radical thinking, open brave spaces, and radical love. See their Instagram page for more.
