Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party
Description
Though many of these documents are undated, this folder deals exclusively with MFDP elections, and legal actions relating to those elections, from 1963-1966. Five MFDP candidates (Whitley, King, Collins, Guyot, and Hayes) pledge NOT to uphold the segregationist principles of the Democratic Party of Mississippi in their 1966 primary election; they supplement their "Declaration of Independence" with Democratic Party of Mississippi quotations, their own biographical sketches, and a rebuttal of the Party's "Section 3129" which makes candidates pledge to support those primary winners who support segregationist policies. The folder also includes the following: 1966 Mississippi congressional district population and voter registration statistics by race with a notation about which counties now have more African American registered voters than white ones. Clifton Whitley's reply to James O. Eastland on school desegregation. An MFDP pamphlet outlining its 1966 electoral intentions. A list of the
