should have a reference to reagan's thing --

Shouldn´t this be moved back to the original title with caps? just like American Civil Rights Movement? Gryffindor 10:58, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

No, it should not be in caps. Jonathunder 22:10, 2005 August 4 (UTC)

[edit] use of 1870 Force Act?

A web page at http://faculty.smu.edu/dsimon/Change-CivRts2.html says:

The Justice Department, reasoning that those responsible would be acquitted by an all white jury, charged nineteen individuals (under an 1870 federal law) with conspiring to deprive the three of their civil rights. The charges were lodged against Sheriff Lawrence Rainey, Deputy Sheriff Cecil Price and 17 other men.

Is this referring to the 1870 Force Act? I'm saying so in the Ku Klux Klan article, but I was wondering if anyone could verify that. TIA!--Bcrowell 17:53, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Major POV problems removed

I believe I have removed the parts that were blatantly POV. Yes, the people who committed these crimes were the scum of the earth, but the previous version was just a polemic against racism.

[edit] Movies?

According to the page for "Mississippi Burning", the movie was released in 1988. Yet this page clearly says it was released in 1994. I just thought I should point out this contradiction. Andi-

I concur and so does IMDB. Changed. --87.123.219.13 11:11, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Indoctrination

Seems slightly POV to say indoctrination at Miami University, perhaps seminars or classes would be NPOV.

[edit] Links to Deputy Sheriff Cecil Price and Sheriff Lawrence Rainey

There are two very good wiki pages on Cecil Price and Lawrence A. Rainey that have now been linked. Rcsfca 06:30, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question Re: Philadelphia Mississippi/Missouri

I'm doing some online research for a story and noticed that this article says that Ronald Reagan announced his presidential bid in Philadelphia, Missouri. I thought Regan's announcement was made in Philadelphia, Missippi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.195.248.46 (talk) 16:02, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
