I've been looking at this site for some time now, but have never taken the time to express how important I think this is. It is important to have the stories recorded and even more important ot have them readily accessible for anyone, especially young people for whom the internet is a powerful tool often used.

I discovered this website by chance and was so pleased to learn that there is an effort to document this important segment of American History. The information is great!

I am teaching the History of the Civil Rights Movement at American Baptist College in Nashville, TN. ...and this site will become a part of my library/internet homework for students in the class.

i was supposed to take notes on some of the civil rights movements for my 7th grade history class when i found this website. i was sickened by the things i saw, but i was also amazed by the way you all handled it, i know that i wouldnt have been nearly brave enough to walk around town with some of those things going on.

I am working on a research paper concerning the Freedom Summer Project. The information contained on this website has been very useful to fully understand the situation of these brave individuals in Mississippi endured. This is not my home state, but I truly admire their courage their. I deeply appreciate their inner strength and determination to ensure my future right to vote and will not let their efforts be in vain. Thanks to them - and in their memory, I will always exercise my voting rights.

I want to take a minute to thank you, each of you, for the effort you have put into this site. Also, thank you for making the dream for equal rights a reality. Because of you, my children have a better life than the folks who came before them.

 —  Joanne Knight, Providence, Rhode Island, 4-4-05

Thank you so much for this site. I am working on a humanities project about Freedom Summer and this site has been a huge help. I am extremely interested in history and found this site to be very informative and useful to my research. I found the Veterans Roll Call most useful as I was able to contact some people who were a part of the movement. This website help to further ignite my passion for research of civil rights facts as I feel call to work in the area of social justice and reconcilliation. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for this informative site. I am thankful for all the infromation that is available, I wish more young people could see it. It is a shame that a lot of our young black children do not know anything about our history, for it is our history that is shaping our now and tomorrows. Thank you again for your wonderful site.

 —  L Donnell, Arlington, TX , 02/25/2005

This is a great website to learn more about the civil rights movement and a lot about african american history. This site is also good to look at in Febuary because it's black history month so that kids can know more about african american history.

Searching for information regarding the murder of my Uncle in Holly Springs Mississippi, August 1963. His name was Wayne Yancey AKA Wayne Wilson Yancey. He was a part of SNCC. This site has given me hope in finding closer for my family.

 —  Marguerita Yancy, 25 January 2005

The images is what i came for on this website, but I have left with a lot more.

 —  Amanda Jones, Douglas Georgia, January 25, 2005

I've just learned of Jim Forman's passing. He was a major hero to me. He took time with me, spoke with me, looked me in the eyes, and all of that because of his love for SNCC and what it was all about. He wrote a poem about me leaving the Raymond St office -- a long time ago -- for better or worse that poem captured me.

I join the rest of you in missing him. My sincerest wishes for peace are sent to his children and all of his loved ones.

Having been to the Mississippi Delta while with an NEH grant group working with the Hamer Institute at Jackson State University, your site is an addition to what I can share with my students. High school students today do not realize what struggles there have been in our nation and in their own communities.

Please keep this site available to all future generations we must not forget!!

 —  Gary Hoog, St. Augustine, FL, 1-06-2005

This was a really good website. It helped me a lot.
