Description:In the summer of 1964, people traveled to Mississippi from all over the country to join with local African American citizens in the battle for equality. Mississippi Freedom summer was the turning point of the civil rights movement in the South. One of the people who came that summer was Herbert Eugene Randall, an African American/Native American photographer from New York City who documented Freedom Summer activities in Hattiesburg and the nearby historically black community of Palmer's Crossing.Few of Randall's nearly 1800 photographs were seen or even printed until 1998, when he donated the negatives to the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. The following year, more than 100 of the photographs were exhibited on that campus as part of a commemoration of the 35th anniversary of Freedom Summer.
