The intent of this project, undertaken in 1965 by Dr. Gordon
G. Henderson, chair of the Political Science Department at
Millsaps College, was to record oral histories of people involved
in the civil rights struggles then going on in the state of
Mississippi. Among the topics discussed are integration of
public accommodations, schools, and churches; Freedom Summer
activities; voter registration and the Mississippi Freedom
Democratic Party; and various forms of white resistance to
integration.
A total of thirty-nine interviews were conducted. Twenty-three
interviews are open to
researchers, six with only minor restrictions. All interviews
were recorded on reel-to-reel tape. The archives have the
facilities to make cassette copies of interviews. Contact
the archivist for more information. The twenty-three open
interviews have been transcribed, though a few are in the
rough draft stage. Of the twenty-three open interviews, twenty-one
are pertinent to the current bibliography.
