In the summer of 1964, hundreds of summer volunteers from across America convened in Mississippi to put an end to the system of rigid segregation. The Mississippi Freedom Summer 50th Anniversary Conference will convene in Jackson, Mississippi both to recognize the accomplishments and those who worked for changes to the politically segregated Mississippi and to discuss how to continue the struggle.

The conference will include talks, workshops and some meals. There will be free time to explore museums and sites as well as meals on your own. We will try to schedule some time for our group to meet up close and personal with some of the civil rights heroes and heroines.
