Editorial Reviews:
A central episode in America's civil rights movement, the 1964 "Freedom Summer" voter-registration drives in Mississippi are recounted in this PBS-produced video narrated by noted actors Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee. To battle entrenched power in Mississippi, a state that stubbornly upheld a system in which few blacks were allowed to register to vote, activists enlisted the help of attorneys who traveled into the most hostile environment to defend voters-rights volunteers who were systematically being arrested. In moving interviews with such luminaries of the movement as Bob Moses and Congressman John Lewis, as well as with the use of archival footage, Mississippi, America details the drama and danger faced on a daily basis. Appropriate attention is given to the three voter-registration volunteers who were murdered by a conspiracy of local lawmen and the Ku Klux Klan. After documenting how difficult victories were eventually won, the video ends with a poignant segment focusing on the crises of poverty and insufficient education in Mississippi today. This is a very intelligent and professional look at a vitally important episode in modern American history that will provide depth to those who may know the story and open the eyes of younger viewers who may be encountering Freedom Summer for the first time. --Robert J. McNamara
