Negro Students Defy Conservative Leaders in Deep South
Judy Lefkowitz reports in 1960s Mississippi a rising movement challenging segregation. In McComb 114 Negro high schoolers were arrested after an aborted march to Magnolia, while Jackson State College officials abolished the student government for Freedom Ride support. About 400 students walked out at Jackson State. A Justice Department spokesman warned action hinged on a potential lynching, noting FBI presence but difficulty linking events to voter registration. Mississippi remains entrenched in segregation amid ongoing protest and police vigilance.
