Protest and Politics: The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and the 1965 Congressional Challenge.
McLemore, Leslie Burl
Negro Educational Review, v37 n3-4 p130-43 Jul-Oct 1986
Describes actions taken by the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party to challenge White dominance on the ballot for congressional seats in 1965. The challenge failed, for a number of reasons, but helped end an era of all-White political party domination and precipitated the growth of grass-roots political groups. (KH)
