Miles, Robert (Batesville, Miss.)

Authoritative Name:
Miles, Robert (Batesville, Miss.)
Biography:
"Robert Miles provided leadership during the Civil Rights Movement in the city of Batesville. Miles worked with COFO to register black voters. Miles’s leadership came with a huge sacrifice of safety. He received threatening calls, and in 1967 local residents fired shots at his house. As the black community became politically active, Miles was seen as a key endorser of candidates. He was also the first black candidate to run for County Board of Supervisors."--Mississippi Civil Rights Project, https://mscivilrightsproject.org/panola/person-panola/robert-miles/
