In the summer of 1964, the FBI found the smoldering remains of the station wagon that James Chaney, Michael Schwerner, and Andrew Goodman had been driving before their disappearance. Shortly after this awful discovery, Julie Kabat’s beloved brother Luke arrived as a volunteer for the Mississippi Summer Project. He was one of more than seven hundred volunteers from the North who assisted Black civil rights activists and clergy to challenge white supremacy in the nation’s most segregated state. From his tale, author Julie Kabat has creatad a brillaint new memoir, Love Letter from Pig, My Brother's Story From Freedom Summer, an in-depth look at the life of a history maker, a change agent, and blazing star.
