Voting rights as civil rights
Large-scale efforts in the South to register African Americans to vote are intensified.
However, state officials refuse to allow African Americans to register by using voting
taxes, literacy tests and violent intimidation. Among the efforts launched is Freedom
Summer, where close to a thousand civil rights workers of all races and backgrounds
converge on the South to support voting rights.
