520 |a Landerman begins this interview by describing his upbringing in West Hartford, Connecticut and his early impressions of Duke University, including its political atmosphere. Landerman explains how attending civil rights demonstrations in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in 1962 shifted his passion from athletics to politics. He describes Duke CORE, including the organization's structure and its early leaders, Sara Evans and Harry Boyd. He recalls his experience participating in the Durham desegregation campaign in May of 1963, for which he was arrested and missed a semester of school. Landerman explains his decision to leave Duke for the Mississippi Freedom Summer Project. Landerman details his experiences in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, including his connection to Hattiesburg's Black teenagers. He describes the small, rural communities he has worked in across the south. He also recalls the Waveland Conference of 1964, and his experiences canvassing. Landerman concludes his recollections with a summation of his life after Mississippi. He discusses the student initiative he co-founded in 1965 to lift up the poor white community in Durham, North Carolina. Finally, Landerman discusses the flaws of the group, his evolving position on the women's movement, and the social pressures and willingness of civil rights workers to risk their personal safety
