1964 Mississippi epicenter of Freedom Summer, a massive effort to educate and register African-American voters
What’s weird is that the first test (code-named “Salmon,” by the way) took place in 1964 – the same year that Hattiesburg was also the Mississippi epicenter of Freedom Summer, a massive effort to educate and register African-American voters in the South. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to locate the exact date of the 1964 atomic explosion, so hold off for now about plots to irradiate Freedom Summer volunteers (what really happened, with cruder weapons, was bad enough).
(I first learned about the Mississippi atomic tests from “Places the United States Has Bombed,” by artist/photographer elin o’hara slavick. Also check out her photos of the military community at Fayetteville, N.C., site of Fort Bragg -- some of her work on Fayetteville was featured in the “Missiles and Magnolias” issue of Southern Exposure.)

Should a better link be established between Copeland and Purvis, it is suggested that a short summary statement be included on the Purvis page establishing the link with referral to the Copeland page via a "{Main|James Copeland} tag". Pinethicket (talk) 12:40, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
