South Street Corry Journal Reports on White Citizens Councils
The Corry Journal outlines the rise of White Citizens Councils following the May 1964 school desegregation ruling. It notes Georgia and New Orleans chapters, debates on influence, and criticisms by figures like Madding Carter with quotes about integration and terror. The piece ties the movement to broader racial tension and political power dynamics.

First Issue of WCC Publication Highlights Outreach
The first issue notes future mailings to states with the movement and to seven other segregation groups. Fleming cites at least 20 allied groups, including a revived Klan and the National Association for the Advancement of White People alongside the Councils. Local editors attack Citizens Councils for economic pressure and “manicured Kluxism,” while a Southern editor calls them protective against lawlessness, united by white resolve.
