McKissick wants economic equality

Description

In this newspaper article, Floyd McKissick, former national director of the Congress of Racial Equality, lectured on "The Contemporary South," during a discussion held in Lee Hall on Mississippi State's campus. He talked about the problem of open segregation in the 1960s, three major types of demonstration strategies, and the issue of economic desegregation and economic equality in the 1970s. He also calls for higher education for Black students so that they are able to compete professionally. A photograph of McKissick speaking behind a lectern is included with the article.
