Publisher's Synopsis
I was living when all the events happen in this book. It never focus on me where the battle ground were fought for Voter Rights. However, one was Mississippi. I salute the brave individuals who challenged the racist segregated system and the terror of the Klu Klux Klan, who had them oppressed. The struggle they had to overcome against all odds was a miracle from God. You hold in your hands, one of the most important books I have ever compiled on Voter Rights: Mississippi's Black Struggle (KKK Reign of Terror) of facts, dates, events and individuals from all walks of life consists of: History of Mississippi (Chapter I) Voter Rights Struggle Chapter II) Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (Chapter III) Klu Klux Klan Victims (Chapter IV) KKK Reign of Terror Chapter V) Where the Blues Began (Chapter VI) Institutions of Higher Learning (Chapter VII) NAACP Beginning (Chapter VIII) The time has come for me to give recognition to all the people who sacrificed their lives and political careers breaking down the segregated racist system into an integrated Society which practice equal justice for all. Those people are the "forgotten heroes." Therefore, they will be recognized in this history book. Blacks must never forget that there have always been good decent Americans who wanted to do the right thing in the first place, regardless of race, creed or color. Lets begin to celebrate Mississippi's Black Struggle (KKK Reign of Terror) recognizing all races who participated in making the United State a better Country we live in today. Finally, we must began to realize we all are Americans who cherish freedom and the pursuit of happiness. Last but not least, I love America and it is the greatest Country on Earth. Therlee Gipson
