"The only thing necessary
for the triumph of evil is for
good men to do nothing"
Edmund Burke
This quotation is as TRUE
today as it was nearly two
hundred years ago when
Burke said it.
If the state of Mississippi
is to survive as a state Of
free people, if We are to con-
tinue to have freedom Of
speech, press and assembly,
if we are to have freedom #
conscience and religion, we
had better start doing and
speaking out now. This means
you, dear reader.
It may be too late already.
Mississippi today is being
ruled by a dictatorship Of the
professional leaders of the
Citizens Council in Jackson
working through Governor
Barnett - and anyone who
gets in their way way they
try to destroy.
Only the people can step
it and we are confident they
eventually will.
