The Freedom Summer Project of 1964 was a 10-week-long voter registration and education campaign in Mississippi. The project was meant to draw national attention to the persistent voter intimidation and dilution happening in Mississippi and to pointedly counter the false narrative that Black people in the South did not want to vote.
