New Kind of Mississippi Murder Unfolding

By Sid Salter
The Clarion-Ledger
"While it may not be politically correct to say so, the fact is that Mississippi's back in the civil rights murder business.

For Mississippians of my generation, a civil rights murder means just one thing - a white person killed a black person more or less for the 'crime' of being black - other details optional.

But across this nation, this state and even in the small town where I lay my head at night and go to church on Sunday, a new civil rights murder modus operandi is developing in which a somebody kills a Hispanic person more or less for the 'crime' of being Hispanic - other details optional.

What do Hispanic immigrants in Mississippi today have in common with beseiged African-American citizens in Mississippi in the 1950s and 1960s?"

Just another meeting?

Did any Mississippi state senators or representative attend this meeting of white supremacists?

If so, who are they?

Great Southern (June Meeting Report)
June 30, 2006

Members and friends of the Great Southern CofCC held their June meeting at 7pm at Bo'Dons Seafood Restaurant near Jackson, MS. Several orders of business were discussed, especially business on immigration reform. What a crowd! One of the largest in a while. Immigration issues are heating up all over the state of Mississippi. The Great Southern Chapter also made plans to assist (MCIR) Mississippi Citizens for Immigration Reform in a petition drive at Puckett Day on Saturday July 8. They also voted to assist MCIR in a petition drive against Illegal Aliens at the Mississippi Watermelon Festival which will be held on Saturday July 22, in Mize, MS. The chapter would like to thank the special guest that were on hand for the meeting. It is always good to have state senators and representative in attendance.

Till Murder Investigation Finally Moves Forward

Prosecutor pores over 8,000-page Till file for evidence

By Jerry Mitchell
The Clarion-Ledger
Jackson, Mississippi

"War and Peace has nothing on the FBI's new investigative file into the 1955 killing of Emmett Till.

"Leo Tolstoy's epic novel of 19th-century Russia surpasses 1,400 pages, but the file that state and federal prosecutors are poring over is more than five times thicker.

"It's probably well over 8,000 pages," said District Attorney Joyce Chiles, who has no time frame for her difficult job of deciding if enough evidence exists to go forward with the Till case."
