The Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission was created in 1956 by the Mississippi Legislature in the wake of the
Brown v. Board of Education decision. The Commission's express purpose was to "do and perform any and all acts and things deemed necessary and proper to protect the sovereignty of the state of Mississippi, and her sister states." In other words, it was an official tax-funded agency to combat the activities of the Civil Rights Movement. Their records are
now online. [MI]
