An MPR documentary "O Freedom Over Me," produced by John Biewen and Kate Cavett about the 1964 Freedom Summer and narrated by one of its principal organizers Julian Bond. The life-long civil rights activist died last weekend at the age of 75. Bond said Freedom Summer was "a peaceful program to bring democracy to Mississippi." You'll hear two Minnesotans who participated, and the voices of many others, in this 1994 Minnesota Public Radio documentary.
