Join us for a screening of the Academy Award-nominated documentary, Freedom on My Mind. Released in 1994 and directed by Marilyn Mulford and Connie Field, it is the first film to chronicle, in depth, the story of Freedom Summer. It vividly tells the complex and compelling history of the Mississippi voter registration struggles of 1961 to 1964: the interracial nature of the campaign, the tensions and conflicts, the fears and hopes. It is the story of youthful idealism and shared vision, of a generation who believed in and fought for the principles of democracy.
