<dc_description>From the Miller (Michael J.) Civil Rights Collection; This report gives many accounts of bombings, shootings, and assaults perpetrated by the Ku Klux Klan in Natchez between the years of 1963 and 1965.  It also mentions a court injunction placed on three civil rights workers from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) that was meant to prohibit their further participation in civil rights demonstrations or their encouragement of the political actions of others.</dc_description>
