the state of mississippi. eln b. meacham: the state had its own spy agency, essentially. they paid mississippians to spy on other mississippians. reuben v. anderson: the sovereignty commission investigated 85,000. mississippians and they were a force in holding black people down and white people who wanted to change things. we lost a lot of great people who gave up on mississippi and moved away. speaker 16: it's time to take a stand. by working together, we can and will safeguard our freedom gerald blessey: barnett was governor up until the end of 1963. he couldn't run for re-election, but he could step out for four years and come back, which is what we feared. we didn't want to spend the rest of our lives being led by people like that. frank thackston: barnett had prospects for getting re-elected, and maybe senator kennedy would like to have something to say about that. gerald blessey: but if we could just expose those conversations, he'd be seen as a liar, even tthe segregationists. we'd need to figure out h

it's a weird town money, mississippi the town of money in 2011 was the beneficiary of a 206,000 mississippi civil rights historical sites grant the grant went not to bryant's grocery and meat market the only site in town with the civil rights history. rather it went to ben roy's service station. a long shuttered house and canopy style gulf station that sits precisely 67 feet south of the crumbling grocery because bryants was crumbling. and because ben roy's had a covered portico the grant application reasoned. the gas station had become a default lecture site from which tourists could gaze at the grocery and learn their civil rights history the application put its case for civil rights dollars like this, and i'm reading now. quote it is very likely that the events the transpired at bryant's grocery were discussed. underneath the front canopy. of the adjacent gas station and quote and with nothing more than that the mississippi department of archives and history gave $200,000 earmarked for civil rights to the restoration. of ben roy's the restoration was completed in 2014 and it is beautiful

sunflower county, municipal mississippi. the only thing you need to know about sunflower county for the story to make sense is, well, two things. the first, that till was killed in some fluorescent county and, and second, the only relevant county in mississippi that has no commemorative investment. there are no blacks, no signs, no museums, no memorials, no nothing. and that's the kind of counterintuitive. you would think that the murder side gets the premier commemorative investment, but the opposite is actually the case. and it didn't just happen that way. and this story, we'll tell you why it happened. it starts at 7 pm on the night of october 28th, 1955. that's two months after the murder, and one month after the trial. on that night, the freelance journalist william bradford hui met with two of them are jurors, their wives, and their lawyers to share a bottle of whiskey and swap stories. you see, hui -- he's the journalist -- he wanted to tell the story of till's murder for look magazine but the murder was two months in

he says powerful first day in mississippi. here is bryant's grocery, and then he posted a picture of the wrong building. he showed up and he saw one building in ruin and one building restored, and he thought if this is ground zero the movement, obviously it must be the restored building. but he was wrong. to his credit, the sign on the left side of the tweet that tells the story of bryant's grocery, this sign is 33 1/2 feet from each building. it's precisely in the middle. and you know why, right? even if you don't, you know why, because when the county put the sign up they did not want to ask the permission from the family because they put it right-of-way between the buildings, and it was brilliant because it got the sign there, but precisely in the middle. if a guy that makes his living telling stories of the history got it wrong, think of taking a picture of the wrong building. story three is about the town in glendora, mississippi. okay, the first thing to say is that glendora is absolutely saturated with memorials. the ti

mississippi was a swing state.hat horrific speech -- >> mississippi. >> when did we get to the point absolutely, when did we get to the point and how did we get to the point where politics became limited to 15, 16 states? >> a lot of it had to do with the fact republicans embraced racist and white supremacists as you well know before 1960, the republicans had a better record on civil rights than the democrats did because the democrats were a largely southern white party. the state in 1960about the bigg. you may know this, it was the state that juanita just mentioned. it was georgia. by about something like 65%. and that was not black people saying, we're for kennedy for civil rights. that was a state in which many black people could not vote, the majority could not. these were white voters saying to kennedy, we expect to franklin roosevelt or woodrow wilson, other democrats who stood against civil rights. that was pretty recent. 1964, barry goldwater said, he thought the civil rights act, as you well know joy, was

i go back to someone like, you know, gene taylor of mississippi, someone who really -- someone who wasind of overrated for his rhetorical flourishes. americans for tax reform said he supported the affordable care act, and he comes back and calls them lying sacks of scum. it's interesting with insults, i also think they can be very underhanded. jesse jackson was running in 1984. he didn't go after walter mondale who was the front-runner, but he was talking about hubert humphrey, ran for president in 1960, '38 and then -- 68 and then 1972. he said he was the only real progressive leader who ever came out of minnesota, so you put two and two together, oh, he's trying to go after walter mondale doing it underhandedly. so i think the insults are really something no matter what side you're on, it's something you can appreciate the way politicians are able to insult -- now, sometimes it can be a sophomoric insummit, other -- insult, or other times it's really creative, and you say, wow. >> host: the great american political trivia challenge, rich rubino, available online. thanks for spending

the supreme court is considering that now, if they allow that missy mississippi law to stand. which they expect to do. that will effectively not grow out. and with, it any constitutional protections they -- for bush and access. just today, the republican governor of florida, ron desantis, signed a new 15-week ban on abortion just like the one that's being challenged in the supreme court in mississippi. the florida ban is scheduled to go into effect in july, which is around the time are gonna get a decision from the supreme court on potentially overturning roe. what's this whole flurry of republican anti abortion laws has been around the country. prepare for the day they are expecting soon, when roe v. wade will fall because of the supreme court. when they want to get the bans on the books now so that everything is ready to go once row is thrown out. in the meantime, they're making it as hard as humanly possible to get women abortions under any circumstances. threaten anyone who loans the money, certainly threaten the doctors, threaten the women. but now, put that kentucky head

i grew up in southern mississippi. during the 1930's and the 1940's, there was no such thing as a warrant, but in later years, in chicago, we had two instances on the west side where people broke in, the wife and the husband were in the bed with the children and they had to put a blanket around them. the second case, the police broke in and the lady was taking a shower, and they had to give us a blanket and cover it around her. so in my 94 years, i have experienced -- and do you have any data on whether they -- whether the raids are mostly on blacks for our the executed mostly on vacations -- blacks or are they executed mostly on caucasians? caller: we found that when the word -- guest: we found that there were federal no-knock laws enacted in the 1970's. we found that as soon as that happened, there were botched raids everywhere, wrong addresses, exactly what this man was talking about. to these violent confrontations have been happening from the beginning. in the cities we were able to look at when we identified thes

mississippi is the poorest state in the country. this is a state where a third of children live in poverty, it's a state where right now, for women who are on medicaid, women with low incomes, they get two months of health care coverage after delivering the child. and in fact, the very same legislature that passed this abortion ban refused to expand coverage for new mothers under their medicaid program. so the hostility and -- it goes way back as been said. the hostility toward women and children, and their well-being, is lays at the feet of the republican party. this is going to be a political battle, this is why it's so critical, the midterm elections, we need to send a signal that this country is unwilling to go back to a day where healthy women across the country are dying, are being put in jail because of abortion. >> i want to be completely transparent because i know no other, way this is gonna be a robust conversation. it was both about care and lgbtq rights. we because of the story that we are seeing out of texas, we are hop

also texas, oklahoma, and mississippi, and yasmin, as you know, the mississippi case will be going before supreme court in june, and if they do uphold that, it could have severe implications across the board. one of the things mississippi is asking as well is that abortion be returned to the states. if that happens, which officials here at planned parenthood tell me that could very likely happen, that could mean that these 26 states could severely restrict, even ban abortion altogether, and they say that could have huge consequences where at least half the states in this country, you would not be able to get an abortion safely. so, a lot on the table here. >> yeah, and that mississippi law, pretty much similar to what's happening in florida there. banning abortions after 15 weeks. >> reporter: exactly. >> eyes and ears will be on the decision coming from the supreme court when it comes to that mississippi state, especially as we see what's happening across the country when it comes to restrictions on abortions in more conservative-leaning states. stephanie stanton for us, thank you. >>> a

if grant had the army that he had with him in mississippi, he would have done that. he knew them, knew the officers and how they worked. but not being familiar with the army of the potomac, he didn't want to do something that risky. so that's not an option. of course, you could go up the peninsula the way mcclellan did following these large rivers here, these es to a wares. we've seen that grant is sending a minor expedition to futility here. he didn't want them to go to futility, but they did. but there are problems with this and, in fact, lincoln almost would not tolerate the main union force in virginia, the army of the potomac, going down there again. the thing with mcclellan worked out so badly, it left northern virginia so wide open, lincoln doesn't like that and really is just not going to let that happen. so that's not -- that's a nonstarter for grant. now, what grant is going to do, he's going to use a combination of all three plans. his army is on the orange and alexandria railroad new culpeper when he starts out. and lee is south of them. so grant is going
