The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party
, THE MISSISSIPPI· FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY Background InformaUon for SUppoMlve CampaIgns by Campus Groups repal"ed by STEV E MAX PolItical Education Project, Room 3091' 119 FIfth Ave., N .. Y.C. Associated with Students for a Democrattc Society THE MISSISSIPPI FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY: BACKGROUND AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS by STEVE llJAX The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party was founded April 26, 1964 in order to create an opportunity for meaningful political expres sion for the 438,000 adult Negro Mississippians who traditionally have been denied this right. In addition to being a political instrument, the FDP provides a focus for the coordination of civil rights activity in the state and around the country. Although its memters do not necessarily think in these -terms, the MFDP is the organization above all others whose work is most directly forcing a realignment within the Democratic Party. All individuals and organizations who understand that ' when the Negro is not free, then all are in chains; who realize that the present system of discrimi nation precludes the abolition of poverty, and who have an interest in the destruction of the Dixiecrat-Republican alliance and the purging of the racists from the Democratic Party are potential allies of the MFDP. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Mississippi Democratic Party runs the state of MisSissippi .with an iron hand. It controls the legislative, executive and judicial be nches of the state government. Prior to the November, 1964 elec tion all 49 state 3enators and all but one of the 122 Representa tives were Democrats. Mississippi sent four Democrats and one Goldwater Republican to Congress last November. -

Pondering the Prairie. Photograph from a Proposed Prairie National Park, Issued in July 1961 by the National Park Service
Pondering the prairie. Photograph from A Proposed Prairie National Park, issued in July 1961 by the National Park Service 68 KANSAS HISTORY Tough as the Hills The Making of the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve by Rebecca Conard e humans have imbued the prairie landscape with complex meaning. During the nineteenth century the midcontinental region was alternately disparaged as an inhospitable desert and rhapsodized as a lush sea of grass, depending on the mindset of the viewer and the motive for recording an observation. Thus, as others have noted, “prairies have been and continue to be among the most paradoxical of landscapes, considered to contain both nothing and everything, the 1 repository of our culture’s rejected past and its cherished ideals.” The vast majority of Euro-Americans who explored and settled the mid-continent, however, mainly saw the prairie’s economic potential. Louis Joliet, Wexploring the Upper Mississippi River Valley in 1673, noted that “a settler would not there spend ten years in cutting down and burning the trees; on the very day of his arrival, he could put his plough into the ground.” Writing 250 years later, Herbert Quick compared the fertility of Iowa’s tallgrass prairie to mother’s milk: “Bird, flower, grass, cloud, wind, and the immense expanse of sunny prairie, swelling up into undula- tions like a woman’s breasts, turgid with milk for a human race.” Artist George Catlin stands virtually alone among those who confronted the undomesticated prairies in suggesting that a portion of them be preserved. As early as 1832 Catlin called for a government policy that would create a “nation’s park, containing man 2 and beast, in all the wild and freshness of their nature’s beauty.” Nearly a century passed before the loss of Rebecca Conard, formerly of Wichita State University, is now professor of history and director of the public history program in the Department of History at Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, Tennessee. -
