Evers Makes Historic Mississippi Gubernatorial Bid
James Charles Evers, 48, became the first Black candidate for Mississippi governor in the state’s 154 year history. Speaking to 2,500 at a Loyalist Democrats convention in Jackson he pledged law and order and equal justice, urging Black and white voters to choose the best man. Evers, a former biracial town mayor and Democratic national committeeman, urged economic reform and a home for the aged in each county. The Loyalists seek party status but lack full state registration.
