Faces of Freedom Summer

Description: Affirms, validates, and reiterates the yearning for an orderly, peaceful and just world

Review Quotes: "Faces of Freedom Summer is the rare book that both movement scholars and nonexperts will find useful. . . . Randall's memorable photographs reveal Freedom Summer's importance to workers, residents, and the civil rights movement in southern Mississippi."
--Journal of Southern History

"Faces of Freedom Summer includes both blacks and whites, volunteers and locals, and young and old. Images--like the young black shoeless boy playing outside the shoe shine parlor, the bloodied and bruised faces of civil rights workers, and the wonder of the children--make this volume unforgettable."
--Virginia Quarterly Review

"Randall's stunning photographs bring Freedom Summer alive to a new generation of Americans. Tusa's Introduction sheds new light on the Civil Rights movement in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Together they have produced a work as inspirational as it is instructive."
--John Dittmer, author of Local People: The Struggle for Civil Rights in Mississippi

"This book adds rich imagery for understanding the most significant domestic development in twentieth-century America. It captures the sense of place that lay at the core of southern culture and attaches it to the struggle over civil rights."
--Jack Bass, author of Taming the Storm: The Life and Times of Judge Frank M. Johnson and the South's Fight over Civil Rights
