The legacy & lessons of the 1964 Freedom Summer. And what we can learn from it

From MSNBC.

As the Trump administration clamps down on civil rights and Americans push back with protests like “No Kings,” there’s value in reflecting on the Freedom Riders of the 1960s and how their movement succeeded, but ultimately evolved. Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones says this administration is “dismantling every institutional win that we saw during the Civil Rights Movement.” He adds, “it’s upon us to pick up that torch and say that the civil rights movement is not just in history books.”
