Description: A collection and examination of the creative literary work of Freedom School students discovering pathways to racial justice

Brief description: William Sturkey is assistant professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His work has appeared in the Journal of Mississippi History and the Journal of African American History.

Review Quotes: Sturkey and Hale's collection of student journalism is a call to consider the social and cultural lives of the authors of these periodicals--it is also a call to action, as the concerns of students of color in 1964 do not sound altogether different from the concerns of young people across the United States today.--Carrie Teresa, Niagara University "American Periodicals, Volume 29, Number 1, 2019"
