Overview

"Mary Aickin Rothschild has written a valuable and informative study of the volunteers who went south both that summer and next. Relying on her own interviews with former volunteers, letters the volunteers wrote at the time, and the initial applications many of them submitted to the sponsoring organizations, Rothschild presents a comprehensive and empathic account of who the volunteers were, what motivated them to go south, and what they did and experienced once they were there. . . . A Case of Black and White will be of value to all civil rights scholars." The Journal of American History
