December 1, 1966 Mr. Otis Brown, J R . Srt? December 1, 1966 Mr. Otis Brown, Jr. Srt? flower County Improvement Association Indianola, Mississippi Dear Friend Who Never Gives Up: If there were about one thousand people like you in the United States we could make this place into a paradise in about ten years. I am sorry to be so slow in replying to your letter of September 14. Z have a feeling there is an October or November letter somewhere around, which I will come across eventually, but I have just had the excruciating pleasure of rereading the September one. I was proud to learn that the people in Indianola were determined to try to enroll their children in the white school in spite of all the obstacles and with no comment on how bad those schools are. I wish I had been able to send a box-car full of clothes. I will try to send a few clothes next week. For a while I was up to date on the struggle going on in Mississippi between C.A.P. and the local groups for funds to keep the headstart program going. At the moment I realize that I don't know exactly what is happening, though I do remember that funds were curtailed for many headstart programs throughout the United States. In fact, I learned last week that the headstart program in Evanston has been hanging ever since September, with children and teachers waiting for approval to continue the program. I hope your volunteer program has been able to continue somehow. The whole story about voter Page No. 2 Mr. Otis Brown, Jr. December 1, 1966 registration, no jobs, end no cars is devastating. When I reach this point I find myself speechless. Please continue to keep me posted as to what is going on. By the way, I was in California last month for the wedding of my son Ruffin Harris, whom you may have met when he was working in Cleveland with Lee Bankhead. He later worked in Perry County, Alabama. After Ruffin's wedding I went to the Black Power conference at Berkeley where Stokely made a wonderful speech to about fourteen thousand people. As I sat there listening to him in a big outdoor theater, somebody in front of me turned around and said, "Hello, Lucy." It was Jenell Glass. Tou can imagine how thrilled I was to see her. I have been asked to help assemble some material about the Freedom Movement for the Wisconsin State Historical Society and also for the University of Tennessee. Would you be willing for me to give them copies of your letters as part of the history of this important period in the United States? The conditions which you describe tell an important story which could never be found in the usual classroom history books. I am enclosing my check for $150.00 which I hope you can use for your car or the Freedom House or whatever is currently most urgent. With best wishes to you and all the Sunflower Freedom voters. Tours in the struggle, Mrs. Kenneth F. Montgomery End* Ck.$150.00 oris8RAWAJ.&. $u/v?kotitE£ Co Sept. 14, 19C6 Dear Friends, Schools ar-; opening and wo in Sunflowor County want intcrgratod schools thia year, Tho county is divided into thrco districts.

One woman who lived on ?. chit • nan's plantation sent her 7 children to the whito school, Last yoar also"tho rest of Sunflower County schools did nothing about intorgraticn. This year the schools wore even willing to do without foctcr .1 funds, but the Justice Depart­ ment brought a salts to force seR.ee1 intox-gration. At first wc thought 8 gradc3 would be opened, butJustice Department insisted on only 6, Thoy will bo grados 1 through 5 and grado 12, People who want to try and enroll topJLr children in other grados can write to tho Superinten­ dent.

  • Appendix B: Maps of Mississippi's Public School Districts
    Appendix B: Maps of Mississippi’s Public School Districts This appendix includes maps of each Mississippi public school district showing posted bridges that could potentially impact school bus routes, noted by circles. These include any bridges posted for single axle weight limits of up to 20,000 pounds and bridges posted for gross vehicle weight limits of up to 33,000 pounds. Included with each map is the following information for each school district: the total number of bridges in the district; the number of posted bridges potentially impacting school districts, including the number of single axle postings, number of gross weight postings, and number of tandem axle bridges; the number of open bridges that should be posted according to bridge inspection criteria but that have not been posted by the bridge owners; and, the number of closed bridges.1 PEER is also providing NBI/State Aid Road Construction bridge data for each bridge posted for single axle weight limits of up to 20,000 pounds and gross vehicle weight limits of up to 33,000 pounds. Since the 2010 census, twelve Mississippi public school districts have been consolidated with another district or districts. PEER included the maps for the original school districts in this appendix and indicated with an asterisk (*) on each map that the district has since been consolidated with another district. SOURCE: PEER analysis of school district boundaries from the U. S. Census Bureau Data (2010); bridge locations and statuses from the National Bridge Index Database (April 2015); and, bridge weight limit ratings from the MDOT Office of State Aid Road Construction and MDOT Bridge and Structure Division.
