If we want classrooms where students can debate, dissent, and think freely without fear, we cannot assume the right content will do the work for us; it is the practiced judgment of the skilled teacher that makes democratic learning possible.

61 years ago in MS, Chaney, Goodman & Schwerner were killed fighting for #VotingRights during #FreedomSummer. Their legacy inspires us today. Honored to stand with their families at CORE’s MLK Day Banquet. #NeverForget #CORE #MLKDay #VotingRightsAct
This summer, we honor #FreedomSummer, a season of courage, conviction, and sacrifice. 61 years later, we remember those who risked everything for voting rights. Today, we must carry their spirit forward: nonviolent, united, and unwavering.
🇺🇸 This July 5th, come through for our Freedom Summer Block Party! Get ready for a full day of fun, music, food, mutual aid, education and community care — because our safety lives in solidarity.
Lets celebrate community and freedom on our terms! Details below👇✊ #FreedomSummer #50501nefl
In 1964, #Mississippi had the lowest #VoterRegistration rate for Black Americans in the U.S., and white supremacists used violence to maintain that.

A few days before the murders, Klan members went to the small Mississippi town of Philadelphia and beat congregants before setting fire to their church. Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner, were effective organizers who had helped many Black people register to vote. They heard about the attack in the town of Philadelphia and drove there to talk with community members. Afterward, Klan members arranged for police to stop Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner’s car. It was the last time they were seen alive. The FBI was put in charge of the investigation and – because of the church arson and after finding the civil rights workers’ car had also been set on fire – the FBI named this case Mississippi Burning.
The "Missing" poster, created by the FBI, with pictures of Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner. The poster includes the text: The FBI is seeking information concerning the disappearance at Philadelphia Mississippi of these three individuals on June 21, 1964. Extensive investigation is being conducted to locate Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner"
On this day in 1964, civil rights workers Andrew Goodman, James Chaney, and Michael Schwerner were murdered in Mississippi by members of the Ku Klux Klan.

A few months back, Muriel Tillinghast, a SNCC worker in MS during #FreedomSummer spoke about that searing time, and the agony of wondering about their colleagues, Goodman, Schwermer & Chaney youtu.be/XFzCMAg8cIs?... Deeply moving.

And here is Muriel Tillinghast, another #SNCC worker who endured #FreedomSummer atrocities in a talk from just earlier this year youtu.be/XFzCMAg8cIs?...
And, as @isabelwilkerson.bsky.social has pointed out, 🇺🇸 ‘s ‘success’ at social control was a model for National Socialism in Germany. End/
Re ⤴️ folks might 1. Read Jo Ann Robinson’s memoir re planning/execution of #MontgomeryBusBoycott nationalhumanitiescenter.org/pds/maai3/pr... & 2. recent talk by Muriel Tillinghast, a SNCC field director during #FreedomSummer youtu.be/XFzCMAg8cIs?... on her experience & organizing best practices
The 🌎 feels menacing, overwhelming & grim.
Perhaps akin to the terror facing the young leaders of SNCC in MS registering voters in the #FreedomSummer project?
If we want to be galvanized to meet our moment, Ms Tillinghast (snccdigital.org/people/murie...) is speaking Sun: bsec.org/events/insid...

We all need to know this American History. [Gifted w. my subscription to The Washington Post]: In 1964, the Klan killed three young activists and shocked the nation
A Mississippi town still grapples with that violent civil rights history

Sixty years ago today: #FreedomSummer begins with orientation sessions for 300 volunteers at Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio. How long before SCOTUS-enabled Deep South disenfranchisement makes a sequel necessary?
Why is 2022 not #FreedomSummer all over again? -- @prisonculture
