2024 marks the 60th anniversary of Freedom Summer, a landmark campaign to register as many African American voters as possible in Mississippi. While most of the movement’s work took place in the Magnolia State, a key portion of the path to voting rights ran through the Garden State. Join us for a commemoration of this iconic historical moment.
