About this listen

This is season two of the Mississippi Freedom Trail Podcast, where the people who pushed for Civil Rights--and their family members--tell their stories of the role they played in the state's Civil Rights Movement. You’ll hear the real stories of people who drew from courage and persistence to make voting a reality for the Black residents of Mississippi. In this first of four episodes, we begin in Hattiesburg to tell the story of Vernon Dahmer.
