Sunflower County Freedom Project "Five Feet Four Inches Forward"

I loved the play on Fannie Lou Hamer. It was incredible. The kids put so much effort and pride into their performaces. Most importantly, the kids showed a great deal of respect and understanding toward the sacrifices that Mrs. Hamer made in order for African-Americans to gain the right to vote. I think it is very important for these kids to learn about African-American history because it provides them with a sense of appreciation and respect for people who made sacrifices that would directly affect future generations. Maybe MTC corps should be more involved with the freedom project during the 2 weeks that they are at Ole Miss. I think it would be beneficial to both the kids and the MTC corps. I don't know how we could get involved, but I do think we could provide some support to the program.
