SUMMARY:The Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi
DESCRIPTION:This talk traces the roots of the modern civil rights movement to World War II\, a movement that began long before the Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954 and lasted long after Dr. King’s assassination in Memphis in 1968\, a movement that in many ways never ended. Specifically\, Dr. Luckett discusses the major people and events of the modern civil rights movement in Mississippi like Emmett Till; Medgar and Myrlie Evers; Ross Barnett; the Citizens’ Council and the Sovereignty Commission; the Freedom Rides; James Meredith and the 1962 integration of Ole Miss; the 1963 Woolworth’s sit-in; leading civil rights organizations like the Council of Federal Organizations\, the Congress of Racial Equality\, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee\, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference\, and the NAACP; 1964 Freedom Summer; Fannie Lou Hamer; the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party; Anne Moody and Coming of Age in Mississippi; the Meredith March against Fear; and many other topics in the field. \n  \nPanelist: Dr. Robert Luckett\, Associate Professor\, Department of History and\nDirector\, Margaret Walker Center\, Jackson State University.
