Mississippi Votes inaugural Democracy in Action Convening, a pivotal event commemorating the 60th anniversary of Freedom Summer will be held this fall. The free and public event will honor the legacy of civil rights icons and veterans of the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement, featuring a plenary session with Dave Dennis, Sr.
Our goal is to inspire youth engagement and foster community building by uplifting the history and lessons of Freedom Summer. We believe this convening will be a meaningful contribution to the ongoing discourse on civil rights and democracy in our state.
The Democracy in Action Convening will be held from September 5-7 at the Jackson Convention Center in downtown Jackson, MS between 9am and 7pm every day. More information on events can be found at democracyinactionconvening.org.
