Abstract:
An examination of the Williamston Freedom Movement, that began with a 32 consecutive-day period in the summer of 1963 and continued into the following year. African Americans held nightly meetings, formulated sweeping demands, and participated in dozens of marches and sit-ins that included a school boycott of segregated education and an economic boycott of white-owned business in Williamston.
