| 520 | |a "In the summer of 1964, the FBI found the smoldering remains of the station wagon that James Chaney, Michael Schwerner, and Andrew Goodman had been driving before their disappearance. Shortly after this awful discovery, Julie Kabat's beloved brother Luke arrived as a volunteer for the Mississippi Summer Project. Teaching biology to Freedom School students in Meridian, Luke became one of more than seven hundred student volunteers who joined experienced Black civil rights workers and clergy to challenge white supremacy in the nation's most segregated state. During his time in Mississippi, Luke helped plan the community memorial service for Chaney, attended the Democratic National Convention in support of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and even spent time in jail for "contributing to the delinquency of minors." (This arrest followed his decision to take students out for ice cream.) Through his activism, Luke grappled with many issues that continue to haunt and divide us today: racialized oppression, threats of violence, and segregation whether explicit in law or implicit through custom. Sadly, Luke died just two years after Freedom Summer, leaving behind copious letters, diaries, and essays, as well as a lasting impact on his younger sister, nicknamed "Pig." Drawing on a wealth of primary resources, especially her brother's letters and diaries, Kabat delves deep into her family history to understand Luke's motivations for joining the movement and documents his experiences as an activist. In addition to Luke's personal narrative, Kabat includes conversations with surviving Freedom School volunteers and students who declare the life-long legacy of Freedom Summer. A sister's tribute to her brother, Love Letter from Pig: My Brother's Story of Freedom Summer addresses ongoing issues of civil rights and racial inequality facing the nation today"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
