freedom schools  

Définition

  • Freedom Schools were set up during the civil rights movement as a response to persistent racial injustices in education faced after the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954). The most significant creation of Freedom Schools occurred during Freedom Summer in 1964, when hundreds of northern activists collaborated with southern communities to run these schools in over 40 black towns and cities in Mississippi, educating more than 2,000 students.
