During the summer of 1964 he joined the Freedom Summer projects in Mississippi and was involved in helping African Americans register to vote!. He also taught at a freedom school for black children in McComb, Mississippi!. In July, Savio, another white civil rights activist and a black acquaintance were walking down a road in Jackson and were attacked by two men!. They attempted to press charges but the case went nowhere until President Lyndon Johnson, who had only recently passed the Civil Rights Act, urged the FBI look into it as a civil rights violation!. Eventually one of the attackers was found, but was only fined $50 and charged with misdemeanor assault!.
