Freedom Summer's Widow

Season 26 Episode 6

Watch a clip from "Freedom Summer," premiering June 24, 2014.

"I wish to become an active participant rather than a passive onlooker. As my husband and I are in close agreement as to our philosophy in the Civil Rights struggle, I wish to work near him in whatever capacity I may be most useful. My hope is to someday pass on to the children we may have a world containing more respect for the dignity and worth of all men than that world which was willed to us."
