- Description:
- From the Dahl (Kathleen) Freedom Summer Collection. Letter from Rita Walker to Kathy Dahl. Walker writes from Aurora, Illinois, about the lack of jobs in Mississippi. She writes that African Americans did not make use of opportunities to talk to Bobby Kennedy at a statewide meeting in Jackson when he was in Mississippi trying to find out how to help feed poor people. She writes of her daughter's difficulties in school. Three years after Freedom Summer, Walker expresses frustration and discouragement.
