Freedom of Summer 1964 Historical Marker, Miami University No. 4
The Story: Following the signing of the Civil Rights Act on 2 Jun 1964, a national effort commenced registering black voters in Mississippi. This effort became known as the Freedom Summer project. Concern for sending volunteers to Mississippi was tied to the violence toward Black citizens and ongoing voter registration. Realizing the volunteers needed training, the Western College for Women (now Miami University) volunteered to host the training events. This historical marker commemorates the 800 students who trained here as well as three students who disappeared in Mississippi days after leaving Oxford, Ohio.
