On this day in 1964, a Freedom House, buildings used by civil rights activists as organizing hubs, in McComb, Mississippi was bombed, the fourth one to be bombed in the city since Freedom Summer volunteers had arrived two weeks earlier.

The building shown is the Society Hill Missionary Baptist Church in McComb, bombed and destroyed on September 20th of the same year.

No one was injured by the blast on July 8th. Undeterred, the SNCC moved the Freedom School classes outdoors.
