White Mississippians donated to legal fund organized by Americans for the Preservation of the White Race in 1960s to pay for bond/defense of KKK terrorists who attacked Black people+protesters of all races. The country rightly dumped on Mississippi for defending terrorism.
So.
So.

Put simply, rich white supremacists always got the backs of the terrorists on the front lines. This history tends to be lost because no one wants to admit to it and blame "all that" on the "Krazy Klucker in the Korner" as I've longed called this amnesia syndrome in my state.
I discovered this when I investigated Dee-Moore murders (finding James Ford Seale alive). KKK abducted them in Meadville where Franklin Cty Advocate newspaper editor David Webb did public relations for Americans for Preservation of the White Race. I believe APWR met in courthouse
BTW, my guess is this is exactly the kind of un-"patriotic" history our governor would prefer not to be taught in Mississippi schools or anywhere else for that matter. But we all deserve to know. And journalists went put today's events and challenges in proper historic context.
