Answer:

register blacks to vote in the South.

Explanation:

Freedom Summer was a major civil rights campaign that started in mid-1964, <u>with the objective to register as many blacks as possible to vote in the South</u>, particularly in the state of Mississippi. Racial segregation in the South, especially through the Jim Crow laws, had barred black people from exercising their full civil rights, including the right to vote. Freedom Summer was launched as response to that, and many volunteers, black and white, joined the initiative. However, it wasn't well received by a large part of the white population, and activists were subject to harassment and violence from the authorities and the public alike. Because of this and resistance to change, Freedom Summer wasn't succesful in registering many blacks to vote, but it brought attention to the issue, and it was a major influence behind the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which finally granted universal suffrage in the United States, regardless of race.

Which of these Bible passages instruct us to pray for those in authority
S_A_V [24]
<span>We know from Scripture that God can turn the hearts of kings (Proverbs 21:1). That means that we should be praying for God’s will to be done and for our leaders to seek God and listen to Him. We should pray that they would be surrounded by godly counsel and, most important, that our leadership would personally know God and the salvation found through faith in Jesus Christ alone.
</span><span>Interceding for those in authority is not an option. It is a biblical command that we are to obey. “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty” (1 Timothy 2:1-2, KJV).</span>
