,james ,chaney1 and ,michael ,schwerner1

that the ,citizens' ,stamp ,advisory    

,committee should recommend to the

was a campaign in ,mississippi to       
register ,african-,american voters      
during the summer of #aifd2 ,whereas in 
#aifd1 most ,black voters were          
disenfranchised by law or practice in   
,mississippi2 ,whereas this voting      
rights initiative was led by the        
,student ,nonviolent ,coordinating      
,committee 7,,sncc71 with the support of
 the ,council of ,federated             
,organizations 7,,cofo71 which included 
the ,national ,association for the      
,advancement of ,colored ,people        
7,,naacp71 the ,congress of ,racial     
,equality 7,,core71 and the ,southern   
,christian ,leadership ,conference

 and activists participated in two-week 
orientation sessions in preparation for 
the voter registration drive in         
,mississippi2 ,whereas in #aifb1 at #f4g
 percent of the ,state's ,black         

population1 ,mississippi had one of the 
lowest percentages of ,black registered

civil rights volunteers lost their lives
 in their attempts to secure voting     
rights for ,blacks2 ,whereas ,andrew    
,goodman was a ,white #bj-year-old      
anthropology major from ,queens ,college
 who volunteered for the ,freedom       
,summer project2 ,whereas ,james ,chaney
 was a #ba-year-old ,african-,american

,whereas ,andrew ,goodman1 ,james       
,chaney1 and ,michael ,schwerner's story
