Location: Archives and Special Collections, J.D. Williams Library, The University of Mississippi, P.O. Box 1848, University, MS 38677-1848
Description: The first Citizens' Council (also known as the White Citizens' Council) was formed in Indianola, Mississippi, following the United States Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling, which struck down segregation in public schools. Thomas Pickens Brady, a circuit court judge and Citizens' Council leader, published a handbook entitled Black Monday, outlining the group's goals, including the abolition of public schools, nullification of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and establishment of a separate black state. The publication of this handbook inspired many Mississippians to join the Citizens' Council movement. Other Citizens' Council chapters were formed around the state, and soon a statewide body, the Association of Citizens' Councils of Mississippi, was founded in Winona, Mississippi. By 1956, the group claimed eighty thousand members in Mississippi. It was particularly active in the Delta region and also had a powerful Jackson chapter. A national group, the Citizens' Councils of America, was formed by 1956. The Council published a national magazine, The Citizen, and produced a weekly telecast, "Forum," on WLBT-TV in Jackson. The collection consists of correspondence, speeches, flyers, newsletters, and other ephemera.. Included are correspondence from Robert B. Patterson and W. J. Simmons; "Civil Rights and the Negro Revolution," a lecture presented by William J. Simmons at the University of Hawaii, 1964; pamphlets, including Thomas Brady, "Segregation and the South," 1957; Thomas Brady, "A Review of Black Monday," 1954 [online at http://digilib.usm.edu/cdm/ref/collection/manu/id/1778]; Ross Barnett: Strength Through Unity, 1960; James F.
