UP AND DOWN FARISH STREET
This week as promised, we offer part two of a three week series highlighting the grand hope and high fulfillment given to citizens of Mississippi's African American community by Governor Lowe (Bill) Waller during his term of office, 1972-76. Aside from raising the participation of Negroes in state government, state jobs, and state boards and commissions, Waller raised the image of the state itself to the highest level of acceptance it had known in 100 years. Over this week and next week we will offer proof of what we say. Then, if there’s time and space, we’ll touch lightly on other topics as we Move on Down the Line! Then there is a question from Mr. Charles Harrington of Bay St. Louis, MS.
