One of SCOPE50’s goals is to continue its Oral History Project, designed to collect the personal accounts of the Summer Community Organization and Political Education (SCOPE) project volunteers who spent the summer of 1965 traveling throughout the south working for voting rights for all citizens, under the direction of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. These volunteers are aging so it is important the oral histories be collected now before these pieces of history are lost forever. The histories will be made available to educators, students, voting rights organizations and archives. At a reunion of these volunteers in 2015 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the SCOPE project, it was decided to form a non-profit organization to continue to work on voter registration.
