Freedom Summer Workcamp:
A
Civil Rights Journey,
July 6-12
UUSCís Freedom Summer Workcamp will
honor the courage and sacrifice of those young people who worked in
Mississippi
to register voters as part of
Freedom Summer in
1964. In
2004 youth and young adults from around the country will join us on a
civil rights journey to
Atlanta,
Selma,
Montgomery
and
Birmingham,
where the stories told by those who were there will inspire a new
generation. This
Freedom Summer Work Camp: A Civil
Rights Journey
will conclude with electoral-related skills training that will equip the
participants to return to their communities and campuses as Defending
Democracy activists.
