Hometown Summer Project
Summer 1968
Also known as the Cleveland Project
In the summer of 1968, CSA, WAC (White Action Committee), and NAC (Negro Affairs Committee) organized The Hometown Summer Project, which aimed to “work towards practical solutions to racial tensions within the white community.” Students worked out of their hometowns or Cleveland Ohio to bring attention to issues of racism. A similar program had been run the previous winter, which focused primarily on high schools in students' hometowns.
