Sue [Lorenzi] Sojourner, a veteran of the Civil Rights Movement, worked
in Holmes County, Mississippi from 1964 -1969. She is now writing a
memoir entitled, “FREEDOM: Blacks Transforming Themselves — Growing a
Grassroots Movement in 1960s
Mississippi as Seen by One (Transformed)
White Middle-Class Outside Agitator.” It tells of the real dangers and
fears that the local leaders experienced and how they built one of the
most effective grassroots Movements in the state. This fundraiser will
allow Sue to hire help to finish her memoir and catalog her historical
collections for transfer to the archive at the
University of Southern
Mississippi at Hattisberg. Donations are tax deductible. The
sponsors of
the month long-event are
NAACP and
Domestic Abuse Intervention Project
(DAIP).
For more info contact Ann Klefstad 218-525-3037. Donations are tax
deductible. For more event detail see
