I love this story of courage......about How a man in Mississippi...which at the time had not ratified the 13th ammnedment...nor had a Republican governor since reconstructiion and would not have an elected Republican governor for the first time till the 1990's when the 13th ammnedment was ratified. The courage of this man to stand up against the Democrats was amazing and he was killed...assasinated for it...by Byron Dela Beckwith Jr. in fact durng the second trial of the murder Medgar Evers, Democrat Governor Ross Barnett came to shake the hand of Beckwith during his second aquittal. Yes we remember Medgar Evers...probably the most important man in civil righs of Mississippi next to Hiram Rhodes Revels.
No the History of Mississippi and this dark period is period when Democrats ran the State 63 Governors 3 Republicans appointed during reconstruction 3 elected after 1990's 1 Whig and 56 Democrat Governors....yet these Democrats were the ones making the racial policy of Mississippi...basically the same policy that had been in place since the state began.
This is a story of courage, of a person who stood up to racism and fought racism and paid the ultimate price...let us never forget who these people were...the heroes that fought against racism...and let us never become like the Democrats, the Ross Barnetts, the George Wallaces, Orval Fabus, Lester Maddox, and Bull Connors of this world and their Democrat Ideology...we see them today denying this history and legacy of the Democrat party...yet Democrats in DC counted on the votes from the senators of these Democrat controlled States. This party which voted againsted civil rights a whopping 80 percent of the time. ..so let us remember the truth about what happened with Medgar Evers and his struggle for freedom...the democrats who were against civil rights assassinated him.
