Description

In this article, the Reflector noted that Richard Nixon's Law Enforcement Assistant Administration disbursed federal funds to upgrade local law enforcement's abilitiy to police. It was part of a backlash to the nationwide protests in 1968. Federal funding meant compliance with Federal desegregation policies. The Reflector anticipated the subsequent desegregation of the Mississippi State Highway Patrol.
