As this book afirms, the resurgence of overt activities by hate groupsboth the old traditional ones (e.g., the Ku Klux Klan) and the new ones (e.g., the Skin Heads)however much the hard work and sacrices of the modern civil rights movement humanized American society, much still remains to be done. The modern civil rights movement associated with the 1960s was not in vain, yet it did not eradicate from our society the evils of racism and sexism. While we activists made the United States more of an open society than it has ever been in its history, our vision and desire for the beloved community did not reach into all sectors of American society. Freedom, it has been said, is a constant struggle, a work of eternal vigilance.Faces of Freedom Summer brings to life that there was such a time and there were such people and, if such a people were once, then they are still among us. Yet, they may only become aware of themselves when they are confronted with visible evidence, such as the evidence contained in the pictures of Herbert Randall.
