mississippi has been well represented on the ag committee for many years now. i'm grateful. mississippi's number one industry is agriculture. 30% of the state workforce, contributing more than $7.5 billion to the economy annually. the committee continues to work on the 2018 farm bill, i look forward to making meaningful contributions that will result in responsible foreign policy that meets the american needs of farmers and ranchers. thank you forue, appearing before this committee. i appreciate what i consider your very good leadership over the past year as ag secretary and the strong commitments you have shown on behalf of the mississippi farmers -- thank you for two things in particular. usda elimination of the regulations that were burdensome and the cotton share program,

that was their protection to enter mississippi. >> reporter: however, soon after arriving in mississippiwo white, one black, left the group to investigate a church burning. >> schwerner, chaney, and goodman, two white jewish kids and a black kid from mississippi did not come back by the appointed check time. >> three civil rights workers that disappeared in mississippi still have not been heard from. >> people are calling reporters, saying they're missing civil rights workers in mississippi. that was one of the reasons that allowed for this real convergence of press interests that went right up into the white house. >> mrs. schwerner, i have talked to the governor there and he is making all the facilities in the state available in the search. >> it became the dominant story of the summer. >> did mr. schwerner ever tell you in his own words why he came down here? >> he wanted to findhahe could do about an intolerable situation. >> reporter: very quickly, the media focused on rita schwerner, the telegenic wife of missing activist michael schwerner. >> the people in this country have had en

, in starkville, mississippi, mississippi state university and i read the memos that were written by the state officials. in fact, one of the things i learned yesterday, that one of the officials in the reagan campaign who helped arrange this event, reagan going to nashoba county was paul manafort, who was kind of a southern rep for reagan. i learned that yesterday in an article that was published. but the local officials in mississippi who were communicating with national officials in the gop -- and this was months before reagan had ever won the nomination -- they didn't know who was going to win the nomination, right? but the national office was saying where should our candidate come if they're going to campaign in mississippi? and the local official said you have to come to nashoba county, it's our biggest political event and that's where our candidate can attract the quote/unquote george wallace-inclined voters. the george wallace-inclined voters. that was the actual phrase. and you'll see in op-eds, paul krugman writing in the "new york times" talking about southern strategy wil

the first time in mississippi after the civil war. and it's not an easy -- if i put up the 1980 electoral map it would be a sea of red so going to a place allows the republican candidate in reagan to connect with those voters and you see how republicans in that 1980 election are mobilizing not just white working class voters in the south but also those who bolted in 1948 but had not joined the party because they thought the republican party was too moderate. so one of the famous things that happens too in 1980 in that campaign is that there's an event in jackson mississippi where where the young congressman introduces the main speakers and who was it? it was strom thurman. that old candidate of 1948 that in 1964, the year of goldwater switches his party allegiance. he is the most prominent and first southern democrat to join the republican party in 1964. and he's there in 1980 speaking on behalf of reagan. encouraging conservative white southerners to join the republican party and trent lot, the young congressman says, you know, intro

i went into the archives of the republican party in mississippi , mississippi state university. i read the memos that were written by the state officials. in fact, one of the things i learned yesterday, one of the officials in the reagan campaign, who helped arranged -- arrange this event, reagan going to the southern county, was paul manafort. he was kind of a southern representative the reagan. i learned that yesterday in the article that was public -- published. the local officials in mississippi who were communicating with national officials in the gop, and this was months before reagan had ever won the nomination. they didn't know who was gonna win the nomination, right? but they said, the national office, where should our candidate come, if they are going to campaign in mississippi? and, the local officials said you have got to come to neshoba county. it is our buddy -- a guest political event. that is where our candidate can attract the george wallace inclined voters. the george wallace inclined voters. that was the actual phrase. now, you will see an op-ed's that will --

in the county, it is in east central mississippi and it is an annual summer fair. a county fair, a lot of rural areas have county fairs. for a long long time, before 1980, the fair emerged as the place in mississippi politics where politicians go to give a speech. dating back to the 19th century, they would go to the fair and they have cabins they built around the racetrack. i grew up in a county close to that county and there was a distant cousin of minute running for a judgeship and one summer, i was 10 or 11 years old and he took us in the car and took us to the county and handing out flyers for him. hi he was giving a speech. i grew up going to that fair. this is a picture of ronald reagan in 1980 and a picture i had in the first book i published. when i show it had to my mother, my mother looked at the picture and said that is betty sue so and so and picked out people in the crowd that she knew. it was a big political event every year, the fair. it is also the place where in june of 1964, three civil rights workers were murdered. james, michael and andrew good

he became the second congressional district leader and mississippi -- in the mississippi democratic partyhe was good friends of martin luther king jr. and he knew malcolm x and was impressed by him. by 1965, stokely was one of the leading graduates from howard university and he goes to live in mississippi and alabama. he helps organize sharecroppers in alabama and become the -- will become the county freedom organization nicknamed the black panther party. that is where when we think about the black panther itself, , whichn lowndes county provides us the first sign of a symbol of what becomes the black panther party in 1966. stokely carmichael's who caused 1966lack power june 16, during a march in greenwood, mississippi. postcomes this huge icon the assassination of malcolm x. carmichael was named honorary prime minister of the black panther party. initially he was the field marshal by the executive order from huey p newton, executive order number ii of 1967. he helped publicize the "free huey" movement -- "free movement and he becomes one of the key pivotal figures, the bridge figure betw

this is another campaign in mississippi.any small meetings like this in churches everywhere the church was the main line for the movement in many ways. and so they would give the and the poor people's campaign of 1960 he traveled all through the deep south having little bitty like this. i was from the detroit area. and we have these tremendous upheavals in the 1960s. i feel responsible for this. we are not delivering on jobs. it was the time of terror in the north as well. let me finish. this is ghost point michigan. they have to shut off the meeting early. he got his speech done but then everybody had to leave very threatening. these people have come and attack you. time after time. and then memphis the sanitation workers working full-time jobs at less than the minimum wage. these offloaded vehicles. very heavy labor. march 18 of 1968 and made this great speech. a labor has dignity supporting the sanitation workers and after police riot on march 28 they brought in the national guard. and the workers came out. i am a woman.

but mississippi rejected the proposed amendment. and here i love how you can see berryman sort of dry humor yanking away the suffrage amendment from the women of the nation. about five months after this cartoon was published, tennessee did ratify the amendment and it went on to become law later that year in 1920. in this cartoon over here represents something that our nation goes through every ten years. the constitution requires that a census of the population be taken every ten years for the purpose of reapportioning seats in the house of representatives. here you can see uncle sam representing the nation. he's talking about announcing the results of the 14th census. and saying to the house, it's about time to measure yourself again, right? you can see berryman's teddy bear down at the bottom holding up the measuring tape. interestingly the house never did reapportion itself after the 14th census. there was quite a bit of disagreement. people who were representing more rural areas were concerned about the migration to the more urb

i lived in mississippi and i lived in chicago. and i could tell the difference between night and day in some places, in some ways. but my main point was in 1968, when dr. martin luther king was assassinated, i was in chicago. i saw the riots. i saw the burning of buildings. i saw things that was going on. and one thing about it, my mother would not allow me to bring anything in our house that was stolen. she refused to let us do that. but my main point is this. in 2018, going back that far, a lot has changed, but there's a lot has not changed in the sense of when you say in 2018 you going to make this country great again and you're going to -- what the hell you have to lose, black folks, african-americans, well, i don't think -- america has always been great and always will be great no matter what. but you have to make america right again. because the civil rights marches and whites, blacks, and everybody back during that time, it was not the government that exposed the wrong in this country. it was people getting out marchi march

in rural, underserved states like my home state of mississippi, this threat is especially concerning, as patients often lack access to addiction and psychiatric health care providers equipped to provide needed treatments. the concerns are great. therefore congresswoman matsui and i have been working to draft legislation that would enable local facilities to register with the drug enforcement administration and be able to use telemedicine to prescribe appropriate treatments for patients in need. mississippi has been recognized as a leader in using telehealth to reach patients who otherwise would not have access to care. the university of mississippi medical center, their center for telehealth, was selected as a national telehealth center of excellence by the u.s. department of health and human services to innovate and test new delivery models for telehealth. with leaders like the university of mississippi medical center working to maximize available resources and provide care via telehealth, i believe that this technology offers a promising solution to combating the opioid crisis in ou

in mississippi alabama and georgia white racists are terrorizing blacks. as bombing homeless lynching innocent people and murdering schoolchildren all because it had a leaf in as a period of the white race. on his way to the hotel king stops at the lincoln memorial where he will deliver his speech the following day. one hundred years before president abraham lincoln freed the slaves but the abolition of slavery did not bring about equal rights for african-americans. gabriel . king will deliver his message with the majestic statue of lincoln seated behind him. lincoln wanted to light the beacon of freedom for millions but in the late summer of one thousand nine hundred sixty three the reality is very. different in the south blacks are segregated from whites on buses in packs and restaurants many a turned back at the voting booth when they are able to find work the jobs are only paying. in response king takes every opportunity to call for nonviolent civil disobedience but stop short of criticizing the government he maintains coolio relations with the kennedy

that represents our strength, not just in states like alabama and mississippi and georgia. by the way, let the say one other thing about louisiana while i'm talking. louisiana has a black female , who alsoy chairwoman is the "vice chair" of the democratic national committee. karen carter peterson, i'm out of my sister. louisiana now is perhaps the state where the largest city will have a black female mayor. latoya cantrell. first time in 300 years we have had a "female mayor" and she's a black woman. i am proud of her. i cannot wait to go home to see her inaugurated in a couple of months. our state capital has a black female, sharon broome. and our third-largest city, shreveport has a black female mayor. you know what i tell people? munro, alexandria, lake charles, louisiana, lafayette, louisiana, get ready. get ready. that is the strength. if we recognize our power. as women. we might be a minority woman but in some states, we vote and we vote the way we know how to vote, in large numbers, we can turn anything we want. blue, red, black, purple, you name the color, we got i

the waters of the mississippi would've reached out to new mexico. governor connally was an advocate of that plan. marvin nichols was an advocate of that plan. and when governor connally was trying to sell that plan, one of the things that he used to sell that plan was that if we don't do this, the federal government will. now, that plan failed, but do you know how many votes that plan failed by? it failed by 6000 and change. in other words, or more people at this festival today that accounted for the margin by which that lost. now, i'm not saying that mrs. showed would've been an answer. i think it would create a whole bunch of problems that we are not anticipated. there are a lot of recent two to turn around and opposed the creation of a network of reservoirs across a parched land. but that was really the last time an approach was taken from the top down, and maybe we need to revisit that. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. >> monday evening at 7 p.m., james comey will be live on booktv on c-span2 in prime time with his
