in 43 Years on Hungry Blues
Are you going to be able to come to the Memorial, my friend? I know it's a long, long way for you (it's a half-a-day's drive for me and I'm in Mississippi).
If you have not seen the press release about it, go to:
http://www.mississippipolitical.com/deemooremem...
See you there, if you can make it. It should be a powerful, powerful time.

in James Ford Seale Charged in 1964 Murders of Henry Hezekiah Dee and Charles Eddie Moore on Hungry Blues
Hi, Ben, wanted to tell you that I'm thrilled to see your new website (with all the information great essays you have, you need it).
Also wanted to thank you for mentioning the part of the story left out by most mainstream media.
People like you keep these things churning, you had your own part in the push for justice, and continue to do so. Thanks for that, too. I look forward to seeing you the next time you take the trek to Mississippi - let me know when you're coming down, and I can provide you with a place to lay your head at night.
Regards,
C.W.

in Edgar Ray Killen Presided Over The Funerals Of Judge Marcus Gordon’s Parents on Hungry Blues
Check this out, Ben.

Says that he (Killen) also went to jail for making threatening calls to the Judge, back when he was just a DA. Fascinating. It looks as if Judge Gordon has two things going in contradiction to one another. Strange.

in Open Letter To Leesha Faulkner, re: “Deep in my heart I do believe there is justice” on Hungry Blues
Sadly, I, too feel a need to comment.
I truly don't understand this attack on Susan Glisson, a good and fine person, who has worked so hard to try to bring people together in Mississippi, and to bring some measure of reconciliation to this state. It's heartbreaking when I've seen her do so much to facilitate some measure of justice and yet she is attacked from all sides for it. I assure you, from certain knowledge, that the racists loathe Ms. Glisson and are enjoying this discussion immensely. I suggest that there may be information which you do not yet possess, but even more that if you disagree with Ms. Glisson's methods, there is a better place to have that discussion than in this public forum (which is available for the perusal and enjoyment of the likes of the Klan, Richard Barrett and hosts of less public bigots).
I beg of you a little further investigation and assessment of all the facts before you say words that cannot be unspoken.
I am, in a way, rather sorry that I came across this discussion today. I suppose I would have been more comfortable and less stressed now had I not. I was tempted to let it go and simply speak to you in Neshoba County tomorrow, but I find, because of the public nature of the remarks above, that I cannot leave it to just that. We do need to speak tomorrow, and I hope that we may be able to iron out some misconceptions. We can, if nothing else, speak our minds to one another and listen to one another and both come away knowing more.
I might suggest, humbly, that a better target would be those persons still living who were complicit in this crime and the people in Neshoba County who have shielded them all these years.
Thank you for listening.

in Information on the Council of Conservative Citizens and Mississippi Politicians on Hungry Blues
Glad to see some more sunlight on this issue. I have my own list, and just found yours - haven't had time to compare, but will very soon, to see if you have any that I have missed.
I'm trying to draw attention to this in Mississippi and get these politicians to stop legitimizing the CofCC by their presense, membership or anything else they have to do with the CofCC that will contribute to the status of the CofCC. They need to be identified as a radical fringe group, and not encouraged by recognition from those in power.
Thanks for your good work here. I don't have a blog, but I do have a Mississipi headlines page with editorial and permanent links to articles on this subject. Check out my home page, and particularly these pages:
