Freedom Summer, or the Mississippi Summer Project, was a volunteer campaign launched in June 1964 to attempt to register as many African-American voters as possible in Mississippi, which had historically excluded most blacks from voting. The project also set up dozens of Freedom Schools throughout Mississippi to aid the local black population. The projects leadership and funding came from the SNCC and COFO, along with hundreds of white college students in the north.

The civil rights activists from both organizations and the white volunteers from the north faced many challenges during the campaign.

Art Spiegelman was born on February 15th, 1948 in Stockholm, Sweden. Both his parents were Polish Jews - Władysław (1906–1982) and Andzia (1912–1968) and were both born under Hebrew names; Zeev (William when he immigrated to the United States) and Hannah (Anna when she immigrated to the US) respectively. “Vladek” and “Anja” were used in Maus due to the notion that Art thought they’re easier to announce to Americans.

Introduction Visual and performing arts tend to act as separate entities within the field of education; considerably isolated from the majority of academia, these sectors are often considered to be secondary or elective options after completing primary education.
