Historical Background:
The STEP (Student Tutorial Education Project) was conducted during the summers of 1966-1968 at Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi. It was a collaborative effort between Michigan State University educators and their student volunteers and Rust College administrators and high school seniors entering as freshmen at Rush College. Each six-week summer program was intended to improve freshmen student skills in the areas of writing, communication and mathematics. The program provided opportunities for staff, volunteers and participants to gain diverse knowledge and understanding about civil rights and its effects during the heart of the Civil Rights Movement in US history.
