Mississippi picks historic jury [for the above case]

GOOD! It's about goddamn time my home state did something right.
Especially considering how the trial operated the first time around.
Although the following article is from 1998, the fact that this organization [The MS Sovereignty Commission] even existed...it fills me with outrage. To think that people were [and still are] so ignorant and foolish...and that it took a TWENTY YEAR LONG COURT BATTLE for the ACLU to open the files! Yes, it is time for justice to prevail.
"Many of the details of America's fight against the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s have been revealed in the newly opened files of a southern state's secret spy agency.
The Mississippi Sovereignty Commission (MSC) was one of many agencies established by southern states to resist desegregation."
