WITH THE WCAA

Dinner guests during the April 2-3 Board of Trustees meetings included WCP professor Mark McPhail, who presented a documentary he is currently filming on Freedom Summer '64. He described his visits to Mississippi, extensive interviews, and plans for involving students in workshops and possible travel to commemorate the experience of the civil rights workers trained at Western. One goal of his work is to bring Western classroom discussions/readings about freedom and challenges that continue in the world today. His documentary will be part of the "Voices of Freedom Summer" reunion and conference to be held on campus September 17-19, 2004.
