Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Freedom on My Mind is a 1994 documentary film directed by Connie Field and Marilyn Milford.It is a history of the civil rights movement in Mississippi, 1961-1964. In Mississippi, perhaps the most racist and definitely the most segregated of the 50 United States, black people from around the state rise up in the early 1960s and demand the right to vote. White people in Mississippi resist violently. Herbert Lee, a black sharecropper, attempts to register to vote but is murdered by a white Mississippian who is also a member of the state legislature; the white man is acquitted.The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) enters Mississippi and begins working to gain civil rights for black Mississippians. Progressive young white students from across America come to Mississippi to help the movement, and they do, but not without conflict from black people native to the state. Three civil rights workers are murdered, but SNCC does not back down. The film culminates with the efforts of the integrated Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party to unseat the all-white, segregationist Mississippi Democratic Party delegation at the Democratic National Convention of 1964.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Barefoot Poverty: All too true for black people in Mississippi in the early 1960s, as shown in stock footage clips. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party is rejected at the 1964 Democratic convention, mainly because LBJ was trying to hang on to at least some Southern votes. But the activists keep working and it's noted that eventually black Mississippians do take over the state Democratic Party and elect many officials.note The ending does not state that most white people in Mississippi went Republican, and the Republicans would soon be left controllling the state. | |

Book-Ends: The same stock clip of an older black man leading a black child down a country road both opens and closes the film. At the end it's used to underline the theme that the younger generation needs to continue the struggle. | |
