Description

In this article, the State College Board attempted to reinstate Mississippi's speaker ban to prevent Charles Evers from speaking at Ole Miss. Judge William C. Keady, a Federal District Court judge, served an injuntion to Ole Miss's chancellor to allow Evers to speak. Uncertainty lingered how Mississippi State University's Young Democrats' invitation for Evers to speak at MSU would be received.
