Payne, Charles M. I've Got the Light of Freedom: The Organizing Tradition and the Mississippi Freedom Struggle. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1995.
Why this matters here
Charles M. Payne's I've Got the Light of Freedom documents the Mississippi freedom struggle's organizing tradition, including Ella Baker's connecting Bob Moses with Deep South organizers such as Amzie Moore and the turn toward sustained voter registration. The World We Make Together treats that network as relationship-laden local history—each link carrying counties, risks, and memory a visitor could not invent from a list of names.
