One of the colored schools was located in Williamstown in 1891, the teacher was Miss Grace Lewis [source: "The Williamstown Colored School," Williamstown Courier, 01/19/1891, last page - Grant County Public Library record]. By 1892, there were five colored schools and two were taught in school houses [source: King, p.62]. The number of school districts was reduced to three by 1905.

Dan Gold has died after a lengthy illness. He was 68.• Gold, a Benton, Ky., native, averaged 12.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game

from 1961 to 1963 as the Bulldogs won or shared three Southeastern Conference titles. During his career, Mississippi State had a 65-13 overall record, including 36-6 in SEC play.

• The 6-foot-5 Gold was a team captain as a senior, leading the Bulldogs to their first NCAA tournament appearance in 1963, where they lost to Loyola of Chicago 61-51 in the first round. It was the first game Mississippi State played against black players.

• Gold also coached at Paducah Community College and Mercer in the 1970s before going into high school administration in Kentucky. (Superintendent Williamstown)

Joe Dan Gold

• Joe Dan Gold was a fine basketball player at Mississippi State back in the 1960s and later became the head coach in Starkville. He was part of a great story about college basketball that tells you how far we have come as a nation. MSU won the SEC in 1963 but in the first round of the NCAA Tournament the Bulldogs were paired against Loyola of Chicago, which started four blacks.

• Governor Ross Barnett of Mississippi ordered Mississippi State to stay home rather than play a team with black players and the Mississippi Legislature issued a court-backed injunction that forbid the game. Coach Babe McCarthy defied the legislature and sneaked his team out of the state in the dead of the night.

• Mississippi State lost that game to Loyola, which would go on beat Cincinnati and deny the Bearcats a three-peat, but the great story was a courageous coach and a courageous team that was willing to stand up for what was right.

• We've come a long, long way since then, haven't we?

The Triumphs of a Crusade: Civil Rights Era

The Movement Spreads.

• Dr. King was a preacher , nonviolent, he based his ideas on the teachings of several people . From Jesus , he learned to love one’s enemies.

• King joined with other ministers and civil rights leaders in 1957. They formed the southern Christian leadership Conference (also known as SCLC)

• Not to late after that another group emerged The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) the member of this group was mostly college students who thought change for African Americans was occurring too slowly.

• One protest was the sit-in. The sit-in was African Americans sat at the whites only lunch counters . They refused to leave until they were served .

• In 1960 Black students staged a sit-in at a lunch counter at a woolworth’s store in greensboro , North Carolina . The students sat there while whites was hitting them, calling names , poured food over there heads, even some went to jail

• Soon after that it paid off because students had desegregated lunch counters in 48 cities in 11 states

• (( pictures on next page ))

Standing Firm• Civil rights workers soon

turned their attention to integrating southern schools. In September 1962, a federal court allowed James Meredith to attend the all-white University of Mississippi. However, Mississippi’s governor refused to admit him. The Kennedy administration sent in U.S. marshals. They forced the governor to let in Meredith.

• Another confrontation occurred. In 1963 in Birmingham, Alabama. There, King and other civil rights leaders tried to desegregate the city. Police attacked activists with dogs and water hoses.

• Many Americans witnessed the attacks on television they were outraged by what they saw. Eventually, Birmingham officials gave in. they agreed to end segregation in the city.

• The civil rights movement impressed president Kennedy. He was convinced that the nation needed a new civil rights law. Kennedy called Congress to pass a sweeping civil rights bill.

March on Washington 1963

gain voting rights for African Americans in the south. The voting project became known as Freedom Summer.

• the workers focused their efforts on Mississippi. They hoped to influence congress to pass a voting rights act.

• Robert Moses was a former New York City School Teacher. He led the voter project in Mississippi. The project met with much opposition and violence.

• At the 1964 Democratic National convention, SNCC organized the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP). The new party hoped to unseat Mississippi’s regular party delegates at the convention.

Voting Rights

• Civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer spoke for the MFDP at the convention. She gave an emotional speech. As a result, many Americans supported the seating of the MFDP delegates. However, the Democratic Party offered only 2 of Mississippi’s 68 seats to MFDP members.

• In 1965, civil rights workers attempted a voting project in Selma, Alabama. They met with violent resistance. As a result, Martin Luther King, Jr. led a massive march through Alabama. President Johnson responded by asking congress to pass a new voting rights act. Congress passed the Voting Rights act of 1965. The eliminated state laws that had prevented African Americans from voting.
