Mississippi was a closed society. The Sovereignty Commission, the KKK, the White Citizens' Council were all very much in control. They were tyrannizing whites and blacks who might in any way blink on the issues. -Reverend James Lawson Jr. (Breach of Peace, Etheridge, 2018)

It's time to get on the bus again.
