Over 600 Negroes have been lynched in the State of Mississippi since 1982. Evers himself, at the age of fourteen, saw a friend of his father's lynched in Decatur, Miss., supposedly for insulting a white woman. Two Negroes who registered to vote, the Rev. George W.

The youthful congregation was in on the planning from...

Father La Farge became interested in the problems of the Negro when assigned in 1911 to rural Maryland, from then on waged a relentless campaign for racial equality in books and articles, stumped for a federal FEPC, helped found the 60 Catholic Interracial...
