Acerca de esta escucha

It was called Freedom Summer, and they came to Mississippi by the hundreds, white and black, young and old. Their aim was elemental: secure the right to vote for blacks in the state. The hurdle they'd face would be daunting. Follow a reporter as she journeys to Mississippi and encounters the echoes of family and the struggle for civil rights.

“Ghost in the Night” ...Ghost in the Light”

Great book! Ms. Greenwood should read Isaiah 45:9, Potter/clay. Being afraid or looking down on the “dark” (skin) a condition that was in the world before the light was ever created, biblically speaking. I grew up 40 miles from Greenwood in the Mississippi Delta and was 10 years old during “Freedom Summer “and personally experienced some of the things cited in this book. I was alway afraid of the light folks when my mother went out to support the voting rights movement in 1964 (RBJ 8/1/2020).

Very good info

I'm interested in this topic & found this audiobook full of new info that I had heard. It's very short though. I wish it were longer. I like the way the author is telling her story. Good choice.

Rhonda Scott - not better but the same

The author does a great job of painting the picture of the black struggle then and now in Mississippi.

Mississippi's Ghosts

This was a quick read about a place in America I have visited and will return to tour and honor America's courageous heroes of the Civil Rights Movement.

I'm like so many African-Americans with family roots in the Mississippi Delta. I cannot imagine my family's horrors because they escaped the Jim Crow South only to return for funerals, which we left at night to avoid being targeted by white law enforcement.

So much about the Civil Rights Movement is glossed over and sanitized for the reader's pallet, especially in educational books, to avoid the horrible truth. Just like our parents and ancestors who were traumatized and terrorized for life by what they experienced.

Not speaking about or recognizing the domestic terrorism of lynchings, murders, and drownings that occurred in Mississippi and other southern states will allow another uneducated generation to live to experience similar atrocities.

Pass this short-read novel or audible along to others and visit and tour the iconic destinations of the most courageous Americans ever to live—those who fought for the betterment of marginalized Amerian people.

The Mississippi Story

Though I know the story of Medgar Evers and Emmett Till. I did not know of Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte taking $70000 to Mississippi for the student movement during Freedom summer. Great information in knowing the behind the scenes events that were occurring during our time of civil rights activitism.
