These have included information concerning the original stores, churches, homes, residents, and officials. These pioneers are no longer with us and there are so many questions that we wish we had thought to ask them! Others with knowledge of the town’s later years are still here. We should take advantage of their memories while we can as well as using all other material we can find. Peggy Skinner, Norman Griffin, Dewitt Spencer, and Zilla Spencer, among others, had long suggested that a history of Vardaman should be researched and written. I was encouraged to take on this task and was offered help in doing so by these fine people and many others. The Vardaman History Project (VHP) is the outgrowth of those suggestions. The project team is an informal and volunteer group made up of residents and former residents of Vardaman. We are trying to gather as much of the existing historical material about Vardaman and the surrounding area as can be found, to do additional research, and to present this information in multimedia form to anyone who is interested. To help this along, a VHP Group on Facebook was begun in the fall of 2012 to stir interest in the project and to provide a convenient place for sharing information and photographs. It has been, and still is, very successful in doing this. The VHP website at www.vardaman-history-project.us was created in 2013 to begin sharing information that was being gathered. I am the chairman of the team, the webmaster, and also the editor of this publication. I can be reached at 850 862-8642 or at [email protected]; and I welcome your suggestions and information. There is a page in this document which acknowledges the people that have contributed information and photos and publications that provided valuable resources. Many of these represent massive amounts of research and work and the authors are to be warmly congratulated and appreciated. The Facebook Group site, the VHP website, and this document are sponsored by the VHP and the comments here do not necessarily reflect the official views of the town of Vardaman, Mississippi. Unless otherwise noted, all contents are ©VHP, however the copyright for shared photographs and other donated material remains with the owners. Written material here, if not otherwise credited, was written by me and I apologize in advance for any errors that I may have made.

Interviewee: Barber, Frank Interviewer: Mohammed, Liz Date: October 20, 1983 LM: This is an interview with Frank Barber. Okay, please give us a brief biographical sketch to include your date of birth, place of birth, and schools attended. FB: Well, I was born April 2, 1929, in Hot Springs, Garland Co., Arkansas. My mother was born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi in 1902 and we happened to be in Hot Springs because my mother had moved there five years before my birth for her health. My father had to sell his business and relocate in Hot Springs. But apparently, my mother recovered sufficiently to have me in 1929. I only lived in Hot Springs about three years and I grew up in Hattiesburg, Forrest Co. Mississippi. And, received my elementary education there, and was graduated from High School there, in Hattiesburg, in 1947. I attended the University of Mississippi, I went to the U.S. Army, I was graduated with a BA Degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, then Mississippi Southern College, Hattiesburg. I attended the University of Mississippi, Ole Miss School of Law one year, and was graduated after two years at the George Washington University School of Law in Washington D.C. I'm a lawyer, I am_____to the D.C.

  • Jamie L. Whitten Collection Series 21: Special Letters Scrapbooks
    Jamie L. Whitten Collection Series 21: Special Letters Scrapbooks This series consists of letters and other documents set aside in scrapbooks because Representative Jamie Whitten or his office staff determined them to be “special.” They are a mix of commendations, reports on Whitten, letters from prominent individuals and congressional colleagues, and postal cachets. As a result this series documents highlights of Whitten’s career between 1932 and 1994. Archivists removed the contents from scrapbooks to improve preservation and access since the adhesive and plastic covers on the album pages prevented review of multi-page documents. Documents are described at the item-level. BOX 1 Folder: Contents of “Special Letters Scrapbook 1932-1956” Typed manuscript “Special Letters and Other Items Compiled by Jamie L. Whitten, D. Miss. U.S. House of Representatives, 1932-1956 CHRONOLOGICAL INDEX” re: names of individuals indexed to page numbers in scrapbook; two pages. Carbon typed letter dated 3 February 1932 from Greek L.

CLASS REPLACES RACE: THE REEMERGENCE OF NEOPOPULISM IN MISSISSIPPI GUBERNATORIAL POLITICS Tip H. Allen, Jr. Mississippi State University Dale A. Krane Mississippi State University After being dominated for two and one-half decades by strong racial appeals, battlelines in Mississippi's gubernatorial contests showed a significant shift in the early 1970s. Instead of defining public alterna­ tives in terms of race, candidates began to define them in terms of class. A reemergence of the neopopulist appeal, which was so effec­ tive in the early decades of this century, has occurred and has been a major factor in the election of Mississippi's last two chief executives. The changing trends in gubernatorial politics and some of their impli­ cations are the primary concerns of this article.
