The collection consists of approximately 133,000 pages of material, which were processed and scanned by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) in accordance with American Civil Liberties Union v. Fordice, 969 F.Supp. 403 (S.D.Miss.1994) and the 913 photographs interspersed in the files were generated and received by the Commission as part of its investigative and public relations functions. ","The original records were filed according to a thirteen (13) category classification system devised by Commission investigators. When the records were digitized by MDAH to meet the court's specifications, each item was assigned a unique number that was derived from the original filing system. However, due to the existence of some unclassified originals and rebuttal accretions, the archivists added additional classification numbers. The digitized collection comprises the scanned originals with court-approved redactions requested by individuals named in the records along with additional information submitted by individuals named in the records who chose to file a rebuttal. The digital collection also includes the court-specified personal name index and links between rebuttal records and Commission records in which rebuttal submitters are mentioned.","The bulk of the originals were paper, including investigative reports, correspondence, speeches and a large amount of published material. Investigative reports concerned requested inquiries into specific incidents, individuals or organizations or consist of an overview of several communities or counties visited by Commission investigators. Copies of whole reports or individual pages would often be filed in different folders and classifications. As a result there is considerable duplication of material in the files. Incoming and outgoing correspondence was associated with all the myriad functions of the Commission, including investigations, public relations, dissemination of pro-segregation and states' rights propaganda, requests from communities on how to handle various situations as well as the routine administration of the agency. The Commission acted as a clearinghouse for information about segregation and civil rights activities and legislation from around the nation. In doing so they collected published material such as newspapers, magazine and journal articles, pamphlets and numerous issues of the Congressional Record. For each Mississippi county they also compiled a publicity file primarily of newspaper clippings, which focused on race related topics. The records also include many drafts and final copies of articles funneled to local newspapers and speeches prepared for government officials or for delivery by Commission staff or its Speakers Bureau. The Commission's administrative files include minutes, personnel records, interoffice/agency memoranda and correspondence. Also included are financial records, which not only document mundane agency expenses but can be used to track investigative activities and payments of non-Commission investigators and informants.","The actual photographer is often not indicated on the either the photograph itself or in associated documents. While investigative reports sometimes mention that attached photographs were taken by the investigator, it is clear that the Commission did not take the majority of the photographs in the collection. The bulk of the photographs are 1961 freedom rider police mug shots supplied by the Jackson Police Department. JPD also provided the Commission with mug shots of arrested sit-in participants as well as photographs of Jackson marches and demonstrations. Police departments in other Mississippi communities and states also sent the Commission arrest photographs/mug shots and demonstration photographs. Associated documentation suggests that the Berkeley California Free Speech and Jo Freeman photographs were provided by paid informant Edgar Downing. However, it is not clear whether Downing took all the photographs in the envelope of pictures attributed to him. Associated documentation also suggests that Informant \"X\" took the photographs of volunteers at what appears to be the Oxford, Ohio Council of Federated Organizations orientation of 1964. Some of the publicity photographs are stamped with the name of a photographer or studio but mostly the origin is not indicated. The collection also includes a small number of photographs of original documents. These are varied and include items such as: checks, memos, correspondence and minutes from the Southern Christian Education Fund and activists Carl and Anne Braden; Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and Congress of Racial Equality correspondence; checks from the Southern Christian Leadership Council bearing the endorsement of Martin Luther King Jr.; and a letter from J.B. Stoner, Atlanta Georgia Grand Wizard KKK to Elijah Muhammad.","In 2006 a new photograph search option was added to the existing online collection. This new function utilized re-scans of the un-redacted original photographs, which were individually described and linked back to their initial scan and salient documentation. To differentiate these new scans from the original images the code \"ph\" was appended to the Sovereignty Commission identification number.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata."],"dc_format":["image/tiff"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":null,"dcterms_publisher":["Series 2515 : Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission Records Online, Mississippi Department of Archives and History, Jackson, Miss."],"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":null,"dcterms_subject":["Civil rights--Mississippi","Civil rights movements--Mississippi","African Americans--Mississippi","African Americans--Civil rights--Mississippi","Civil rights demonstrations--Mississippi","Civil rights workers--Mississippi","African American civil rights workers--Mississippi","Vietnam War, 1961-1975--Protest movements","Identification photographs--Mississippi--Jackson","Lawyers--Mississippi","Student movements--Mississippi--Jackson","Picketing--Mississippi","Council of Federated Organizations (U.S.)","Walk Against Fear, Memphis, Tennessee to Jackson, Mississippi, 1966","Protest marches--Mississippi","Black Muslims--Mississippi","Nation of Islam (Chicago, Ill.)","African Americans--Religion","Demonstrations--Mississippi","African American political activists--Mississippi","National Association for the Advancement of Colored People","African American business enterprises--Mississippi","Arrest--Mississippi","Students--Mississippi","African American social reformers--Mississippi","Social reformers--Mississippi","Criminal investigation--Mississippi","Freedom Rides, 1961","Segregation in transportation--Mississippi","Passive resistance--Mississippi","Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission","Mississippi Freedom Project"],"dcterms_title":["Sovereignty commission online"],"dcterms_type":["StillImage","Text"],"dcterms_provenance":["Mississippi.

While he had experienced racial discrimination in his hometown of Chicago, he was unaccustomed to the severe segregation he encountered in Mississippi.  Soon after talking in too friendly a manner with a young white woman in a store, he was kidnapped in the night at gunpoint and brutally murdered by two white men.  He was badly beaten before being shot and the corpse was nearly unrecognizable.  His mother insisted on an open casket funeral in Chicago and news of Emmett Till's murder shocked America and the world.

After enrolling at the University of South Carolina the same year, his attention turned quickly toward political activism. He participated in sit-ins with students from the historically black Benedict College in Columbia in 1961, was an active participant in the student chapter of the South Carolina Council on Human Relations, and helped organize the Student Committee to Observe Order and Peace—a group dedicated to the peaceful integration of USC. By 1964, Mizell had left USC to direct the National Student Association’s Southern Student Human Relations Project in Atlanta, thus beginning a career dedicated to social justice and equal rights for all.","Mizell next accepted an offer to become a Program Associate for the American Friends Service Committee’s (AFSC) School Desegregation Task Force in Columbia, South Carolina in 1966. He would continue working for the AFSC for nearly twenty years, eventually rising to the position of Associate Director of the group’s Southeastern Public Education Program (SPEP). During these years Mizell’s efforts focused primarily on advocating for and monitoring the desegregation of South Carolina and the region’s public schools, but he also engaged in a broad range of other community-based activities to improve the quality of education for all students. He played a key role in garnering public and political support for the enactment of state school finance reform legislation and increasing citizen involvement in school governance.","In 1970 Mizell won a seat on the Board of School Commissioners of Richland County School District 1. As a vocal advocate of desegregation on the Board of School Commissioners, Mizell drew the ire of critics of desegregation. One of Mizell’s most severe detractors was Lower Richland High School football coach Mooney Player, who spearheaded an anti-desegregation, anti-Mizell movement called “Deadline ’72.” This movement sought to elect five conservative candidates to the school board to counteract Mizell’s supposed dominance over the board. Though the candidates supported by “Deadline ’72” were elected, Mizell continued to serve on the school board until 1974, when he lost a bid for reelection. After leaving SPEP in 1984, Mizell served as Coordinator of the State Employment Initiatives for Youth Demonstration Project in the Office of the South Carolina Governor and then as director of the Program for Disadvantaged Youth for the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation.","Hayes Mizell possesses a commendable appreciation for the power of memory and history. As early as 1974, he began to donate his personal papers and those relating to his career to the South Caroliniana Library at the University of South Carolina. Today his collection consists of over 165 linear feet of personal papers, speeches, writings, topical files, audio/visual materials, and ephemera.","To date, this digital collection, which will continue to grow, consists chiefly of reports relating to implementation of school desegregation that were sent to Mizell in his role with the AFSC, his own speeches and writings, and photographs."],"dc_format":["image/jpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":["Columbia, S.C. : University of South Carolina.

We appreciate their funding of this nationally important digital collection.","The Council’s history dates to the formation in 1919 of the South Carolina Committee on Interracial Cooperation. This committee later became the South Carolina Division of the Southern Regional Council (SRC), a national organization formed to promote civil rights. The South Carolina Council on Human Relations was formed in 1957 as an affiliate of the SRC. As did its predecessor organizations, the Council evolved over time, responding to changes in South Carolina society and the perception by Council’s leadership of its role and mission."],"dc_format":["image/jpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":["Columbia, S.C. : University of South Carolina.
