Note
  1. From 1962 to 1967, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee's (SNCC) Arkansas Project organized local communities and out-of-state volunteers to coordinate voter registration drives and challenge segregation. The Arkansas Project was part of SNCC's larger Freedom Summer project, a voter registration campaign launched in Mississippi in the summer of 1964. SNCC built on previous grassroots efforts of local Black communities to register Black voters, and recruited college graduates like Iris Greenberg. Greenberg was a field organizer for SNCC in Mississippi, participating in the 1963 voter registration drive, the 1964 Mississippi Freedom Summer Project, and the Arkansas Project. She passed away in 1978.
