Relive Freedom Summer
Politics and Prose Bookstore is hosting a panel discussion to celebrate the return to print of Letters from Mississippi, edited by Elizabeth Sutherland Martinez, after 30 years. Hear about the stories of the young people who left their college campuses to go to Mississippi during the "Freedom Summer" of 1964. These students were agents of change in the most segregated of states, but they, too, were profoundly affected by their experiences in the Deep South. Publisher James Kates along with Heather Tobis Booth, Lawrence Guyot and Terri Shaw will comprise the panel on Wednesday, March 5, at 7 p.m. Politics and Prose is at 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
