Walker, Samuel
Description
This folder includes a variety of WATS line and incident reports from July 1964-March 1965 (with interruptions), along with a few other items. The WATS line and incident reports cover the following dates: June 30-July 17, 1964, WATS line report, October 1964 list of incidents, November 28-December 30, 1964, incident list, and January-March 1965 WATS line and incident reports. Many of the incidents involve attempts to integrate motels and restaurants under the Civil Rights Act, while the January WATS line reports report that several MFDP members who participated in the Congressional Challenge in Washington, D.C., lost their jobs or were evicted from their homes on their return to Mississippi. State-wide depositions about voter suppression in Mississippi, initiated by the MFDP, were being taken at this time, and reports detail the testimony, witnesses, and lawyers involved. Malcolm X is assassinated during this period of time, and a shocking number of Mississippi civil rights workers
