In 1964, the Mississippi Freedom Summer Project was a key initiative within the Civil Right Movement. From October 9-11, 2009 Miami University hosted the Mississippi Summer Volunteers and explored the events of Freedom Summer, its impact and relevance to the freedom struggle, and current issues in human rights which reflect the spirit of the Freedom Summer Project.
