done for us in 2005 and thereafter. so, i don't know how they have administered it. i'm not close enough it to. i kept up for a little while, but it would be good if congress would take the disaster assistance law called the stafford act, and actually overhaul it. ... i was wondering if maybe i write

test the panel about our history, as we are now in the public relations and much more world wide awareness of mississippi and some of our challenges just like every other issue around the world. whether they would support removing the federate battle flag as a way to move in our future like you alluded to in your question. >> a good question, we we will see if people are willing to answer it. [laughter] >> if we can start with casey. >> will after the social movement days he became a politician and went to the state legislature and one of the pieces of legislation that he worked to get past was the

changing of the state flag. >> well in the book, i say the boat to keep the flag was an early 21st century century insult to the black population of mississippi. certainly i would support changing the flag in the first referendum of that along with all the other has professional historians in the state issued a press release that was read on the capitol steps endorsing a new flag. that's my answer. >> talk about what senator might do, he was a loyalty to to his ancestor and his heritage, he had his name on the marker he

went to gettysburg where they were killed and they told him there some land over there that they would like to buy but it was going to be buffered development. he went back and had the land purchase for the park service, so he was loyal to the college. given his years in service of the fact that he counted toward the end changed and mellowed a bit on segregation, i think he would probably vote now, i voted for it to be taken down in the first ballot. >> thank you. >> you have to look at ole ms. with how they built the conservative flag was such an integral part of the culture, and now you have both coaches and mississippi state calling for to be be taken down. it's sort of a fascinating look at the world and all of this.

i would support it. absolutely. >> governor. >> the plague is not offensive to me, it's been the flag since 1894, it's been a flag for 50 years before i was born and for the whole 67 years i've been here. but it is offensive to some people, that is just a fact. i will say to you very plainly, people of mississippi should decide this question. they decide to take the flag and make it the plague in 1894, i wasn't governor at the time but they voted to keep it and they ought not to be sold by the new york times or nbc what they should do. they they don't want to be told that. there will be probably another

referendum and i think the outcome will not be the same. there is a huge margin, it was before 2003 before i was governor and it won't surprise me if people choose to change the flag. the best way for that if that is what you want to happen, is fort not to be that we are going to cram this down your throat because our people are pigheaded and they don't like to be told what to do. that is just a fact. >> if we have the referendum how will you vote governor? >> being governor the last thing he ever wants to hear is the whole governor says so-and-so so i told somebody on tv when this all started that i was going to stay out of it because the new governor deserves. would never try to tell me what to what to do and i will never

try to tell others what to do. old politicians need to go with the way of all generals. >> if i'm included with the question i would be happy to respond, the great-grandson of members of the confederate army in fact his great-grandson had slave holders i would in radically vote to change our flag. i was pleased to be asked to sign the advertisement that john grisham and greg house put together and it was in the jackson newspaper, i was pleased to be asked and delighted to sign it. >> thank you. we still have time for questions.

>> the people of mississippi voted to keep the flag but clearly half of the people of mississippi were suppressed and intimidated from voting, so i believe there should be an executive action to remove the flag because of voters will be kept from expressing their beliefs. >> thank you. >> yes sir. >> hi senator, how are you governor? your governor back in 2001, i was one who wanted to change the plague because the plague really doesn't represent us. i say it in mississippi that's a slave and really there's a 3 million of us in mississippi, we love mississippi but 1 million afro-americans every time that flag flies is an insult to us. we gave gave 247 years of free labor to build this country and to build the

south, 247 years! [applause]. it break our hearts to fly it, that remind us that we were slaves. we are better than that, as is date of 3 million people, 11 billion afro-americans let's get something that represents all of us because not any of us going anywhere. we love the state, but we hate to be embarrassed every time i come to this capital for the last 23 years and it's flying above the capitol reminded me that my ancestors were slaves after giving 247 years it meant nothing. we have enough decency in the state of mississippi that we change and get another emblem. thank you [applause].

>> i think before this issue is over, dennis mitchell will have a new chapter to add to his mississippi history. always a new chapter. yes ma'am. >> i have a question, it's not regarding the flag. i have two children and we have spent our whole year going through the state of mississippi and learning about the different history behind different places in mississippi, so on the same wavelength but on a different topic, it's very important for our children to understand the rich history that mississippi has and the people that helped build that so what i am wondering is how do we teach them about the history of mississippi? how do we from your perspective, i know the year the author of a new history of mississippi, how

do we go about teaching our children these days and their young impressionable minds that mississippi is a great state, with perseverance, and with people that have a lot of character and a lot of resiliency, i guess in all, how do we move past the stigma that is on mississippi now? >> thank you. >> i would simply say to you that we are building today in mississippi history museum and next-door to it we are building a civil civil rights museum, take your children there, there'll be opened by the 200th anniversary statehood in december 2017. there'll be a lot of lessons for little a lot of lessons for little kids to get to learn, and see. let the children learn about

katrina, learn about the lessons of katrina and the way people acted and that will give them a very positive attitude about mississippi and black and white, old and young, religious and nonreligious, all kind of people as curtis said, all kind of people work together to help each other in a really in a really terrible time. that is a good lesson for them to learn. >> so two years ago i took my grandson from new mexico on a two week two were of mississippi , you said you did that, i think that is a really good way to do it for children there is nothing like seeing, and touching, and experiencing. that trip with my grandson

played a tremendous impression on him, he has never lived here but he went back home with a deep understanding about the state and because he had to listen to my history lecture the whole drive, he was appalled by some of the history of our race relations and that sort of thing. he also experienced the gulf of mexico for the first time, that warm water was so inviting i couldn't get him out of it. i would say the governor's right, the, the museum will make a contribution but it would also help to go and look at the other museums in the state, see the places, say go to matt mansions

into her the homes, as you do it try to be able to tell the children the stories about what happened here. it will make a very deep impression on them. >> from an african-american perspective what are your thoughts question mark. >> one of the most important things one can do and i'm saying this in reference to what i did with my own child, is to try from the beginning to provide them with a framework of integrity for seeing. when you go around for show and tell for them to see various things in mississippi, make sure they see everybody's piece of

mississippi and that provides them a frame work for engaging difficult pieces of that history when they encounter it later. it's the the framework integrity you give them in the beginning by showing them everything there is to see. it provides a basis for talking about more difficult stuff when you arrive there. >> thank you on that eloquent note. i think we are out of time, you have been great thank you to the panel. [applause]. thank you all for being here.

[inaudible] >> you have been watching an author panel on the history of mississippi and some of its prominent residents. in about one hour we'll be back with more live coverage from the mississippi book festival. now book tv visited jackson mississippi last year to interview local authors and two are some of its literary sites,

while we wait for the next panel from the festival to begin, here are those interviews. >> we are at prospect hill which is sort of the nexus of the whole story. it is a very odd story that few

people know about and it encompasses the u.s. and africa and free colonies of the largest group that came from this plantation and immigrated to liberia in the 1940s. prospect hill was founded by isaac roth who is a revolutionary war veteran from south carolina, who came to the mississippi territory in 1808 with a large group of slaves and free blacks. some of the free blacks fought alongside the revolution the slaves themselves were mostly of mixed race and they came from several plantations in south carolina. so he came here and establish this plantation and arranged for the free blacks who fought with him to buy land in the area, he set up a sleigh base plantation standards was a fairly legality aryan arrangement.

the slaves had a certain autonomy, he was obviously close to them and he never bought or sold anyone so the slaves became a tightknit community and when he realized he was going to die and the slaves would end up being slow old or become common slaves, he wrote in his will and the time of his daughter's death that the plantation would be sold and the money would be paid the way for the slaves would be free to liberia. the american colonization society was seemingly conflicting organizations or groups. one was abolitionist who felt they would make the emancipation more palatable by providing a mechanism for, essentially not

deporting the free blacks but making it, and the south there's so much opposition because slaves in some areas such as this one outnumbered the slaveholders. there was a lot of resistance to freeing the slaves because then they would be in the minority. so the idea among the abolitionist woods if they could provide a way to remove part of that population that it would be more palatable to the south to accept the freeing of the slaves. there is also a group of slaveholders who supported it for basically the same reason, they felt it was inevitable that emancipation was going to come to pass and this was a way to remove a large population of free blacks. it wasn't totally ill let egalitarian in its approach, you couldn't just for you slave it

was against the law, you had to have legislative approval which was not forthcoming and he felt this was the best chance they had to control the destiny. his daughter agreed, so he wanted to keep them in place until her death at which time they would be allowed to emigrate. his grandson contested the will and that's when the drama started. isaac wade was the grandson who contested the will, a young guy in his early 20s at the time, he didn't like the idea of selling the families plantation and giving the money to plantation and giving the money to the slaves and freeing them. so he contested the will, they went back and forth through all the local courts and eventually made its way to the mississippi supreme court. so for a decade it was tied up, during that time, as the story went, a group of the slaves became dissatisfied and felt like he was going to prevent

them from migrating to liberia and they were not going to be free. so as the story went there was an uprising and they set fire to the house one night hoping to kill him. the house burned, a little girl died in the fire, the man was not injured but a group of 12 slaves were lynched afterwards from a tree, that i stole behind the house by one of the last descendents. so that was sort of the highest drama of the story and then after that the mississippi supreme court ruled in favor of the slaves, essentially. although it was a property issue

, the court ruled that anyone has a right to do what they wants with their property at the time of their death so therefore no one can interfere with the freeing of these slaves and allowing them to immigrate. so isaac ross wade lost, then regained control of the property after this estate was settled and built the existing house on the side of the original were burned. he lived here, not all of the slaves immigrated, there were about 300, about 250 went to liberia and about 50 stayed for various reasons. their descendents still live in the area. in all of the accounts and documents, even even today when people describe they call it repressed relation and talk about them going back to africa, you have to understand that most of these people were americans,

they had been here for three, four, five generations. it was not like they're going home. they were going back to. they were going back to the continent where their ancestors originally inhabited but is quite the risk on their parts. there were representatives of the colonization society there who set them up and they made their way to mississippi and africa and started from scratch basically. they started forming, and trading and building houses. that first year i'm sure, was sure, was really challenging for them. and the letters they wrote back to prospect hill, the only way to commute it with the slaves who stayed was to write isaac ross wade emily were always asking for things because there is a lot of shortages and they couldn't had everything they needed there. you can't overestimate the

challenges they faced when they went. there is a lot of greek remodeled houses the slaves the built-in mississippi and in africa. across the river was louisiana in liberia which was settled by free slaves in, there is a georgia, kentucky and maryland county and all of those people came from those states in the us. so they took their culture, what they knew here, they are. they built houses like this one because after all, they are because after all, they are the ones who built this house. so they knew how to do it, there were a few of the free slaves who immigrated to liberia who made bad decisions, who enslaved local people. the slave trade was still going on and some of

the indigenous groups were involved in slave trade, there is hostility immediately between them and the freed slaves who arrive. it sort of like the colonists in the u.s. and the native americans, that was there approach to the indigenous people and they were not allowed to vote, the first effort was aimed at documentation. i went through all of the court records and then i started trying to track down people. i have not thought starting out that i would end up with the civil war in south africa. it was basically between the descendents of the indigenous people in the freed slaves who had been sort of the upper class and had ruled over them. so i was like wow, it was here, the story was still playing out in the 1990s when i first started this mib area. so i thought i will just wait to the wars over and see if i can find

these people. i found that they had settled in a place called mississippi, and africa. there's a parallel universe out there how can we not know what happened to the speed people, i have to find out. eventually. eventually it became apparent the war was going to go on the civil war in liberia went on from 1990 until 2003 so it became apparent that if i was going was going to find out how the story played out in west africa, i just had to go. fortunately in the capital the fighting had moved from the capital when i went. even though it was a war zone i wasn't really, really in the middle of the fighting, it just made it a little more complicated to do my research and a lot of the people have been displaced, but i found them. ultimately it paid off. i found that local people totally embraced what i was there there to do, people in my. recognized the u.s. is like the old country to them. it's also of course like people

in developing regions of the world all over, it's a possibility for advancement, to have a contact in the u.s. so everybody wants to talk to you. as soon as i found out i was interested in mississippi and africa, in open doors everywhere. i. i remember i was in a walled compound which was at a hotel with all of these people with gun dealers and drug dealers, missionaries, it, it was a very weird mix of people and the first night i was there i talked to the bartender and he asked while i was here? i said i was planning to find people who immigrated to mississippi in africa and he said where you from? and i said i was from

mississippi and i asked where he was from and he said he was from mississippi too. i said are are you talk about mississippi in africa or the u.s. and he said both. so the story of prospect hill was still being told in that context because they knew that was their identity is that they had come there, they had been educated, they had a little bit of money and they came. they have a very complex history to but everybody i met embraced me warmly, they're very interested and if anyone cared they know everything about what is going on in the u.s. and they really don't understand why no one in the u.s. understands who they are. they feel such a such a strong connection to america and most americans couldn't tell you the difference between liberia and libya. even as i was writing the story, there are people here today who are white and they see the story one way, they are out here

because they're fascinated because maybe they are related by blood to it. we we also had groups out here that were black who related to the story in a completely different way. my whole goal was to try to include all of those versions of the story because it is a story about access to power and this is what you can learn about that to a group who is denied that access for so long. then see what happened when they had gained access which is some people made bad decisions, some slaveowner owners were wretched human beings and committed atrocities against people because they could, because they had the power. you had free slaves who immigrated to liberia who basically did the same thing, it's human nature, some people are going to go too far. what i would talk about this many times to white groups, they would look kind of smug and so

they did the same thing like we did. i don't think it's as simple as that, i think it's i think it's a story of some people going too far and some people trying to do the right thing, you have plenty of both in the story. race just took on a whole new meeting to me through the story. i don't profess to understand fully by any means, but it made me understand that there are many different ways that history is made and all you should really do is ensure that everybody has the opportunity which had not been the case, certainly in mississippi history until recently. [inaudible]

interview was taped about a year ago in jackson mississippi one book to be visited. in about 45 minutes will be back with more live coverage of the mississippi book festival. if you want to see the schedule of events go to book tv.org or you can visit the mississippi book festival website at ms book festival.com. first here's more book tvs visit to jackson last year.

>> when i was a writer i think i said in the south that i take for what i know for granted and i feel like i am judged because my eyes have been cleaned by experience so i know where a.m. i have a base to see people moving in that clear lights were in jackson mississippi it is a national historical landmark and wealthy was a writer she was born in 1909 and died in 2001.

she was a writer who won just about every literary prize there was. she studied throughout the world really published in many languages, she wrote wrote short short stories. >> that was the form she most value. she had four collections of short stories in total in just over 50 stories of that collection. >> there is oneñr writers beginning to look at the time she was born to the time she was public occasion of her first storx, it's very entertaining i personally love that one. but also the optimist won the

pulitzer prize. she wroteñr anywhere, she would write in the car but most of her writing she would doñi here. this home was designated as a landmark inñi 2004. the house open to the public for tours in 2006, i haven't been here two years or so i can't tell i can't tell you how many times people said to me, how they would come down here just to hear her typing. they did, they often did because she would have the windows open upstairs and it was an old manual typewriter. she did quite a bit of work here. >> this was much like her room when she was here writing she had her typewriter, she would make notes on anything available, back, back of a checkbook, little scraps of paper, and address book. the address book she would write

down name she would heard she would be by the grocery store and she would think of a name or hear of a name and she would jot these names down and then some of the names she had real. so she would know not to put the whole name in the story because it was a real person. >> she loved jackson she felt like she could write anywhere but she knew the people here and i think she liked writing here because they respected her. they gave her her privacy. she could go could go to the grocery store and they would bother her and they really liked her and she was then you could go into a restaurant see the heads turn as she walked to her table, everybody would be punching everybody. she knew the people, if you read her stories you see how well she

was, the way she said things she never wrote about anybody in jackson but she knew the people of mississippi. she was invited to go to the yeah the which is a writer's colony in new york and she really didn't like it. but as she said she could go to her room and right and that's not how she wrote. for example, the story she walked into a country post office and she saw an ironing board and a post office and she thought that's weird. i wonder if someone lived here so that's how the story develops. >> the whistle which is a story about people burning everything they own to save their crops she would hear a whistle and would ask what is that and someone

said there is going to be a breeze tonight so the farmers know to cover their crop. so just every day happening. >> she would type out the story and then she would rip it and decide to add it and she would read it much like a seamstress she would cut out a script and she would change a few words and pin it inches it it was easy to move around, eudora saved everything she ever wrote. which is wonderful for researchers they can go back and decide if she chose change this word to this word. her thought process was a

nightmare was for histories because all of these things may have ham thrown in. unlike today when writers do it on a computer and they do the next version and the first version is gone, but but we have all the edits and copies. >> i can't say what her legacy is but to me, just her mastery of the short story form, particularly as it relates to dealing with the internal life that people often don't talk about but it's there. her powers of description are amazing, not only the physical description of nature but also the interior drama that are going on within the individual and also between close individuals.

it's extraordinary. >> i think we talk about nature but were used to a listener, and that does something to her narrative style i think. >> that was from book tvs visit to jackson last year, now if you're watching book to be earlier today you would've seen a panel discussion on the life of novelist, and essayist eudora welty who is a jackson native. you can watch that live at mississippi book festival on my netbook tv. now more from book tvs visit from jackson last year.

>> don't shop for anything i capitol street, let's let the merchants down on capitol street build economic, let me say this to you i have one merchant who called me and he said i want you to know that i talked to my national office today and they want me to tell you that we don't need mega business. these are stories that help support the white citizens council. the council that is dedicated to keeping you and i second-class citizens. finally ladies and gentlemen, we'll be demonstrating here until freedom comes to negroes here in jackson mississippi. [applause]. >> 15 minutes past midnight got out of his call in a negro residential area, but a 40 hour

delay a sniper fired a single shot from a high-powered rifle the olin hit him in the back and crash there his body through window through the house. he died within an hour at a jackson hospital. city detectives believe the fatal shot they found a rifle in the bushes which they think is the murder weapon and they also have other clues. >> at the town i remember vividly my mother talking about

and she would always tell us it was an stream important to know with this person was. that you know what he did, and she was always amazed that nobody had really written about him and he hadn't gotten the kind of respect that she felt he deserved, on like martin luther king jr. malcolm x., she didn't feel he got that kind of recognition. but it's very important to understand the significance of his family, his mother and father in particular because they were teaching him that it was his responsibility to not only care for the community at large but his responsibility to the larger community. so he grew up with this kind of attitude and his father was very much protective of the family, a person who talked about the importance of manhood and the responsibility as men. he grew up with that, his that, his

mother is well taught them and in particular their responsibility. he grew grew up with these kinds of ideas. it's important to know as a child to he would often time faced in terms of individuals and people who had been blanched and what that meant to him. so the childhood for him was a growing experience, out of it came this idea that you have a personal responsibility. 1950s and 1960s and mississippi was very oppressive, and violent in terms of african americans in terms of their status of society at large. were talking about second-class citizenship, denied opportunities to vote, denied access to education, denied opportunities to participate fully within the society so it was oppressive to say the least. the most most important to understand that kind of environment is that it was a

violent time. in the school they decided they wanted to raise the boat and the towns you could be being at a moments notice. this is not connected to the right to vote, any person who exhibited any kind of attempted demonstrating their manhood her womanhood was subjected to brutality and that was the environment in which they lived. it's political understanding but also for those individuals were also activists along with them as well. you are acting against the society and in some instances that will kill you and that's the kind of environment we're talking about. individuals also would lose their jobs if they were identified an individual who is trying to change the system. so these are the things that would go on, employees would be

notified of their participation. it was an environment in 1950s and 60s, he decided in 1953 where they're calling for volunteers to segregate and he decided then that he would volunteer to do that. he put forth his application 1954. the importance of this is that they believed african-americans should have been opportunity just like anybody else, not only to go to school but also participate in all aspects of the society in which they live. he put his application and in january 1954 it would go through the process and in the end he would be denied on a technicality a technicality in which they would say, he had not had the proper support from where he had lived originally. so he would be denied even though he could open it up again for consideration.

the important part of that is the naacp was paying a close attention to his application at that point, this is a period in which the naacp is trying to integrates institutions on professionalism and on a bigger level. once he was denying the office became this vehicle to express himself fully. the secretary was responsible for organizing naacp chapters and investigating all instances of brutality and wrongdoing throughout the state. the school secretary is also responsible for making any kind of problems and send it to the national office in new york and sending it for publication as well. so the field office also went on to state speaking to

individuals, encouraging encouraging them to register to vote, encouraging lawsuits, filing affidavits, showing individuals how to register and organize. so it was immense. there is a particular time in 1955 in which his responsibility at that time was to investigate what happened and try to take witnesses and try to get justice for the family. there is instances that it was something that bothered him also in 1955 there are several murders mr. mark smith and again people were responsible for investigating those and trying to get justice. so with that you would have to

go in and oftentimes in disguise try to figure out what had happened, to try to speak to individuals who may have witnessed it, get it, get a sense of what had been going on and try to pull out affidavits and that nature. most and partly to get the word out to the naacp headquarters in new york so they can publicize what was going on. these are some of the prominent things he was involved inches i think it's think it's important to understand when we are talking about civil rights activism that every day that individuals get up and leave the house, they understood bow well that they may not come back home again. when they leave their families and kids in the morning that may be the last time they see them. yet they still do it day in and day out. for the field secretary that was something he was constantly in that type of fire and environment. it will become much more difficult for him after he gives his national televised address

in 1963. prior to that he had to go undercover had to go in in the middle of the night where you could talk to people where they can't be seen. so is very difficult, after pretty much everybody knows what he looks like that made it more difficult to go incognito and undercover. it was always difficult, it was always trying but it was understood that going in and he would often talk about the fact that even if he was killed in the process that would be worth it if it change the way things work. that's the kind of mentality that we're talking about here. when you start looking at the environment, when environment, when you start looking at what people are faced with that field secretary your job is to go into the heart of

all that. on top of that you're being monitored by organizations whether it's the white citizen counsel, you are also keeping an eye on everything you are doing, everything you're saying as much as they can, and they have these in files that they keep on you. the fascination occurred early he got home a little after 12 after leaving a meeting and naacp meeting, he gets him a little after 12, gets out of his car he decides what he is going to bring in and he decides to bring in the house some t-shirts with the words must go over and across the and as he gets out of

his car he shot in the back. his family is awake because they're waiting on him to get home and they hear him pull up and then they also hear the shot, when he is hit with a bullet and this is a devastating shot but he is strong enough to and his wife opens the door she sees that he has crawled to the door as if he was trying to come home. of course the neighbors hear the shot and they come out and they see him and his wife and children and so this is a very emotional time because people understand the severity of what just happened. this individual who had done nothing but work toward of the advancement of african-americans

and to bring justice to the state, that that he is shot in the back this way. it also started the movement to because people started to come about to bring positive changes but this fascination is what really showed the severity of what was going on here. there is a sense of the i guess

people are happier relieved that that part of it was closed and that individual who had actually murdered him had been found guilty. at the same time, we understand that this person had lived his life along life, and he was an old man by the time he was convicted. he had an opportunity to see his family, he had opportunities to enjoy himself and those kind of way denied. you have this kind of closure part where this person is found guilty but the person who did the most to try to change the society for the best had his life cut short and his family have been denied that. more importantly the state and the nation have been denied of what he could have done with the rest of his life. so you have those kind of things. overall people were happy that justice was served.

what i want to do with the book is to not only talk about the life of evers but also talk about civil rights and understand who he was and understand how he did the kind of work he did. i didn't want to just tell the story of an individual i want to tell the story of a man. what silva right struggle actually meant on a personal, familial, professional level as well. i think his impact is that he demonstrated the humanist of silver right struggle in the humanist of what it means to be a person to live in a society at whatever time you are in what is your responsibility in roles. by looking at his life you will

see that in great and vivid detail, even though he was an individual who is very much low key. what he did spoke volumes. edgar's and other prominent civil rights leaders were discussed earlier today on an author panel. at the mississippi book festival in jackson. >> presidential candidates often release books to introduce themselves to voters sent to
