Explanation:

The polling taxes were banned by the 24th amendment in 1962.

Various voter registration activities were started in southern states in 1961 by COFO ( The Council of Federated Organisations) and SNCC( The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.  Registration drives was important for civil rights activities because only 6.7 percent voters were registered  in 1961.

Robert Moses was the person who suggested the idea of Freedom Summer to COFO and SNCC leaders in 1963.The first state chosen for voter registration was Mississippi and the project was known as " Freedom Summer".

More than 1,000 people from other states volunteered to work with African Americans of Mississippi to register the voters in summer of 1964. It was ten week project and a thousand people working for it were arrested. Freedom Summer workers were beaten and Black churches were bombed.
