Description
Many of the documents in this folder appear to be responses from politicians to appeals by New York volunteers' parents for more federal protection for their children during Freedom Summer. There are also newspaper clippings about fundraising efforts and rallies in New York in support of the volunteers in Mississippi, minutes from meetings held in New York by parents of volunteers, and testimony by New York congressmen about the Civil Rights Bill of 1964 from the Congressional Record.
