你可能已經聽說過馬丁∙路德∙金，但也有數千名主要是匿名的美國英雄幫助創建了現代美國。
為了應對種族不平等和暴力，1964年夏季，700多名來自美國各個角落和各個種族背景的青年積極分子向南方腹地行進。他們不是等待變革的到來，而是採取行動改變。他們直接向美國生活各個方面的種族歧視發起挑戰。他們甚至成立了一個政黨，迫使政客們認真對待種族改革的需要。
可悲的是，這些勇敢美國人中的一些因為他們的努力而被謀殺，但他們換來了真正的成功。如果你對他們的故事感興趣，請在這裡觀看完整的紀錄片（英文）：http://snip.state.gov/d6f
Freedom Summer: You may have heard of MLK Jr., but there were thousands more largely anonymous American heroes who helped to create the modern United States. In response to racial inequality and violence, during the summer of 1964, more than 700 young activists from all corners of the United States and all racial backgrounds headed to the Deep South. Rather than wait for change to come, they forced change. They directly challenged racial discrimination in all aspects of American life. They even founded a political party, forcing politicians to take the need for racial reform seriously. Tragically, several of these brave Americans were murdered for their efforts, but their successes were real.
