Description
Two African-American girls look out the window of a "Freedom School." The girl at left wears a hat and smiles. The girl at right has a name tag that reads [Illegible] Hall Pascag-," possibly Pascagoula, Mississippi. The "Freedom Schools" were set up by the Council of Federated Organizations (COFO) in the summer of 1964.
