Description

The United States v. Mississippi Interrogatory Answers consists entirely of an excerpt of the Record of Appeal that features answers by the United States to interrogatories posed by the State of Mississippi and other defendants. These answers provide detailed data and sources that illuminate the difficulties African Americans faced in Mississippi when they attempted to exercise their right to vote between 1890 and 1963. Since the subject of African American literacy was relevant to voting registration, they also include information on the segregated school systems in the state.
