Description

This folder consists of Howard Zinn's handwritten and typed notes from the November 1963 SNCC meeting in which Freedom Summer plans were made. The relative roles played by white students during Freedom Summer relative to those of blacks, the expectation that white Mississippi would greet 1000-2000 white college students with violence, conjectures about whether the federal government would provide protection and what effect Freedom Summer would have on the presidential election of 1964 were all discussed. There are also typed notes from a Washington Conference on Food and Jobs, a SNCC press release on Arkansas's attorney general's view of an interracial marriage between SNCC members, a copy of the December 23, 1963 Student Voice, an article by Sam Shirah, "White Youth Seek Liberation" from the Southern Patriot.
