Dixie's Dirty Secret: True Story of How the Government, the Media and the Mob Conspired to Combat Integration and the Anti-Vietnam War Movement: True Hardcover - 1998

by James L. Dickerson


From the publisher

An investigative history of the Mississipi State Sovereignty Commission and how it conspired, together with other government agencies and organized crime, to prevent racial integration in the state and break the law in dealing with civil rights and antiwar activists during the 1950s and 1960s.

From the rear cover

After the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1954 mandated the desegregation of schools nationwide, the legislature in the state of Mississippi created the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission, the basic mission of which was to prevent integration in that state. This book is an investigative history of the Commission, other government agencies (including the FBI), and organized crime, all of which conspired to break the law in dealing with civil-rights and antiwar activists during the 1950s and 1960s. The author uncovers new information about the efforts of FBI agents to combat integration and exposes the longest-running conspiracy in American history.
