Mississippi Navy Veteran Convicted in Miscegenation Case
A 23 year old Davis Knight, a navy veteran, was convicted in Ellisville Mississippi of miscegenation and sentenced to five years in prison. The ruling hinges on Knight’s ancestry through his great grandmother Rachel with witnesses arguing she was Negro. The case may be the first under Mississippi miscegenation law dating to Reconstruction.
