Object Description
| Title | CORE--Neshoba County (Philadelphia, Mississippi) - Correspondence, Memoranda, Reports, 1964-1965 (Congress of Racial Equality. Mississippi 4th Congressional District records, 1961-1966; Historical Society Library Microforms Room, Micro 793, Reel 4, Segment 73) |
| Author/Creator | Congress of Racial Equality. Mississippi, Fourth Congressional District |
| Folder Description | This folder concerns Neshoba County and its surroundings. It opens with a memo from Alan Schiffmann to Sherwin Kaplan about legal hearings in Neshoba County, along with an affidavit from Richard Tinsley and a list of witnesses about a police attack on SNCC photographer Clifford Vaughs outside the county courthouse and their destruction of his cameras. There's correspondence regarding the lack of postal service in many Negro communities because streets were unpaved and whether federal postal regulations could be brought to bear on instances of municipal racial discrimination. After four days as a volunteer in rural Neshoba County, Bill Curtis describes his role with researching federal programs and talking with farmers and sets his goals for the fall. A series of affidavits attest to incidents of jailings for bad debts, loss of employment, or physical assault--mostly for trying to register to vote or for suing the school board--presumably collected for the United States Commission on Civil Rights hearings, as letters from the Commission acknowledge the receipt of complaints. A letter to a local factory manager addresses the fact that few African Americans are employed at the plant. Minutes from a December 1964 meeting in Stallo reveals that , though few local people understand what the MFDP is, they want better roads in their community. A form regarding financial support for the two CORE staff members in Philadelphia, Mississippi, shows that they have no car and little money. Lawrence Guyot outlines the tasks necessary for taking depositions for the Congressional Challenge. There's a document called "The Justice Department and the Philadelphia 17" that concerns the U.S. Justice Department's exclusion of the federally guaranteed right to encourage others to vote from their case against the murderers of the three missing civil rights workers. There's also a copy of the familiar "Chronology of Contacts with Agents of the Federal Government in the Philadelphia, Mississippi, Case." A copy of the federal charges against the "Philadelphia 17" lays out details of the murders. A sad field report from Neshoba County in February 1965 gives the dismal picture of the underfunded and understaffed project there: the letter is signed "Yours in indigence." A lengthy staff report from Neshoba County to the Fourth District director in the fall of 1965 discusses school integration attempts, continuing difficulties in registering African Americans to vote, plans for Head Start programs and a sewing cooperative, adult education efforts, and the ASCS elections. There's also a list of the Mississippi industries employing more than 100 people and a handwritten list of "contacts made" in Neshoba County. |
