The Start of Andrew Goodman Andrew Goodman was born on November 23,1943. He was born to Robert and Carolyn of a Jewish heritage. Andrew went to a school called Walden School. This school was a private school. The schools’ grade levels were K-12 so Goodman went there his whole life. As a sophomore he was informed to go on a march to Washington D.C. The march was called “Youth March for Integrated Schools”. The Youth March for Integrated schools was support for those people to stop segregation in schools.

The Beginning of Maturity When Andrew Goodman graduated from Walden he then was excepted into college. The college was called Queens College, he went to this college to then be apart of a well developed drama department.

Where Politics Was Brought In When Goodman joined college he was passionate for drama and was very focused and developed into it. When he was excepted into Queens College as an undergrad he was also excepted into plays on and off of campus. He was involved in some Off-Broadway plays. But later on, he was led back to being involved in politics.

Where Civil Rights Were Involved After Goodman was brought back into politics he then joined SNCC-”Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee”. This was a committee that was made by a student it became an organization that was also apart of the American Civil Rights Movement. After Goodman joined the SNCC he then joined Freedom Summer Mississippi Project in April 1964.

The Beginning of Freedom Summer Project Freedom Summer was a project that was through the organization CORE- “Congress of Racial Equality”. When Goodman joined in the fall of his third year in Queens College in the year of 1964 to be apart of the Mississippi Freedom Summer Project. Goodman trained for the Mississippi Project in Oxford, OH.

Throughout the Process The campaign in the U.S launched in June 1964 to register as many African American voters as they could in Mississippi. As any adult, the Jim Crow laws of the South captures Goodman attention. The Jim Crow laws were racial segregation laws that prohibited African Americans to be equal but in the Declaration of Independence it states that “all men are created equal.” The Jim Crow laws took away the fourteenth Amendment which is “Right to be free from discrimination in states to have due process of law, to have equal protection of the law.

Freedom Here We Come Freedom Summer mostly took place in Mississippi due to its low rates of African-American voters. It was the lowest rates which brought anybody from anywhere to go to Mississippi to help register African Americans to vote.

How Freedom Summer Went Through The civil rights movement still went on between the people who still believed in integration and nonviolence but others still believe that the achievement of racial equality was peaceful to all. But after awhile people began to lose hope.

Missing of 3 Men It was declared that Andrew Goodman and his Mississippi Summer Project partners James E. Chaney and Michael Schwerner were declared to be missing. The FBI declared to leave posters and signs about the missing people. But no one had called or reported about anything about the missing people.

Bodies Found It was then declared that the FBI went to go investigate there selves to find Andrew Goodman and his partners. There bodies weren’t found until August 4,1964. There bodies were discovered deep inside an earthen well.

How Andrew Goodman Was Killed It was then found out that Andrew Goodman was beat and shot at a close range at night. This was found out by the scars and bullet hole shown on the three men's bodies. This was found out by the evidence of discovering a gun that belonged to the deputy sheriff Cecil Prince.

Who Was Responsible For the Death of Andrew Goodman Andrew Goodman was then killed by a KKK member at the age of twenty. The member who killed them was a Deputy Sheriff. The name of the Deputy Sheriff was Cecil Prince. He had arrested them for going five miles over the speed limit while rushing to got to a church called Mt. Zion Methodist Church. After the investigation Cecil prince was arrested for murder.

Voting Rights Act of 1965 The voting rights act was enforced to the fifteenth amendment to the constitution for over 95 years. This also had African Americans in the South be able to face huge obstacles to be able to vote.

Signing the Act This was a law that was signed into August 6,1965 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. This act outlawed discriminatory voting practices adopted in many southern states after the Civil War.

How The Voting Rights Act of 1965 Ending At the end of the year of 1965 a quarter of a million new black voters had been registered to vote. This now changed America forever.
