...just as rigged. In Mississippi, with a Negro population of 42%, only three of the 44 delegates selected to go to Chicago are Negroes. Civil Rights Leader Charles Evers, one of the three, has resigned and plans to challenge the delegation at the convention. Court fights to unseat regular party delegations have been mounted throughout the nation, mainly by Negroes and McCarthy supporters...
