Dear Senator Stennis, Thank you for your letter and I sincerely hope that the "summer workers" will leave soon. Even the colored people are pretty "fed up" with them. They are nothing but trouble makers, in any way that it can be done. I understand that two of the group here are children of known communists, and I am not surprised at this at all. It seems strange that the National Council of [Churches?], a presumably religious organization, should be guilty of promoting such agitations. Our church is taking steps to see that no farther contributions to this outfit are made, but it takes time to correct these things. Again thanking you for your efforts on our behalf. Sincerely Richard Street https://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/files/original/28/2638/EN3414_Spring2024_EmmaObryant_001.pdf a12478505176533680c9057225e70cf8 PDF Text Text t nu , ting • I 3 7-7 14, 5 Dear Friend, We are sure that you are aware of the gross injustices perpetrated on American citizens in the st.ate of Mississippi. This sUDJDer, massive efforts are being me.de to deny basic rights to thousands who are trying to peacefully change an intolerable situation. It is most important that Americans become aware of the facts. Towards that that end, a special hearing will be held on~y, June 8, 12§1+ at the National Theatre from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. The purpose and background of this event is described in the enclosed mimeographed material. If you feel that this is impDrtant, please help by doing one or two things: (a) Announce the hearing from your pulpit (b} Urge your teacbers and pa.rents to bring _groups of students to the .bearing.

This program calls for over a thou- sand workers in Freedom Schools, community improvement centers, and Negro voter registration drives, with similar projects in selected white communities. We anticipate hundreds or volunteers including ministers, teachers, lawyers, artists, and college students to join us in this program which llB as its goal an improvement in the standard or_living of whole communities ot depressed pers,ns in M1ss1s~ipp1. We have been accused of planning this proje t to instigate rioting, chaos and confusion in Mississippi. Th:t,J 1s not so, and it is our hope that the project will take plaoe in an atmosp phere of justice and order. Whenever there 1s violence in Mississippi it has always been our workers and local Negroes who have been the v1ot1ms. and we have learned through bitter experience tha~ oUl" workers can expect no protection from the law enforcemen~ bodies in that st&te.

We are asking the panel to issue a plea to President Johnson and to the Nation that the rights and lives or our workers in Mississippi be protected. A delegation is now attempting to secure an appointment with President Johnson to present to him the result of these hearings and to ask certain actions of the President. The Chief Executive will be asked to: 1. Meet with Governor Johnson of Mississippi and extract from Governor Johnson the pledge that he will call together all state and local law enforcement leaders and lay down certain ground rules for the summer. Under these rules the following act1vities .w111 not only be permitted, but will he protected: peaceful, orderly picketing; voter reg1strat1~n; orderly distribution of leaflets; peaceful assembly; freedom or inter-racial groups to live in the Negro communities and to move around the state without molestation. 2. President Johnson will be asked to inform the Governor that these are clearly established constitutional rights which the federal government has the responsibility to protect, and that if the Governor will not do this, the federal government will, before the summer, take specific action to do this. We plan to take t he se i ssues to the country in the form of \. ~~-rtisements in major newspapers.
