“For most of us there will be moments of ‘Aha!’ or even ‘Why haven’t I ever heard of this?
This enhanced guide will … excite your spirit of inquiry.
Such a book is sorely needed!”

“Absorbing…
Will inspire people to see where Douglass was born, lived, and worked and teach us that we need to pay attention to the history in our own backyards.”
Dr. Edward C. Papenfuse Maryland State Archivist (retired)
“Reading about Douglass is a moving experience.
Reading Douglass’s own words is an inspiring experience.
Reading his words in the context of his places is a superlative experience.”

Focus: The 1964 Murders of three Civil Rights workers.
Get a Free Chapter from the Civil Rights travel guide.
The Freedom Summer murders of Michael Schwerner, James Chaney, and Andrew Goodman captured national headlines in 1964.
This chapter shares:
why they were in Philadelphia, Mississippi,
the role law enforcement played in their disappearance,
how and where their bodies were recovered, and
the incomplete and long-delayed justice that befell those involved in the crime.
There are no museums to see in Philadelphia and too few memorials to the three slain civil rights workers.
The chapter guides readers on a reflective trip to key sites in and around Philadelphia, Mississippi while sharing the story of this important, though tragic, part of civil rights history.
