Scholarship, Education and Defense Fund for Racial Equality

Description

This folder contains several legal documents. One, filed by the Mississippi Bar Association, tries to justify a Mississippi law that prevents lawyers from outside the state from representing Mississippi clients in Mississippi courts. Another is the Hattiesburg, Mississippi, docket for August 3-17, 1964, which includes several civil rights cases. Another one deals with black parents' and students' attempts to integrate Madison County schools, only to be turned away. There's a list of U.S Code violations by Mississippi legal practice and of Mississippi churches damaged or destroyed between June and September 1964 and demands for federal protection under the U.S. Code.
