- Description
Compiled by Candy Brown, a college student and Freedom Summer volunteer from Los Angeles, this folder contains some newspaper clippings representing the point of view of whites who resented the arrival of out-of-state civil rights workers, as well as a list of the major incidents against blacks and civil rights works in McComb in 1964, a copy of The Klan Ledger, and numerous affidavits attesting to fire bombings, arrests, charges of ""criminal syndicalism"" and harassment of civil rights workers and local blacks. Brown's name appears in the clippings as someone who, along with other volunteers, was harassed, arrested, and jailed in Mississippi during that summer.
