Best Answer

During the summer of 1964, thousands of activists in the Civil Rights Movement, many of them white college students from the North, descended on Mississippi and other Southern states to try to end the long-time political disfranchisement of African Americans in the region. Although black men won the right to vote in 1870, thanks to the 15th Amendment, for the next 100 years many were unable to exercise that right. It was called 'freedom summer'.

Why are college students' values deteriorating?

Being a college student myself I would say that you are stereotyping us. Yes I do know students that have low morals. But there are people with low morals and values in every walk of life and it is what you choose to see, for example do you see a prostitute as having low morals or do you choose to look away? Do you think about why she/he does what she/he does? The same applies for College students, professors, criminals, white and blue collar workers.
