Post 11; didn't meet my deadline, but I'm still having a wonderful time researching and learning

11th Post, Blog Book, Who Killed Emmett Till. Focuses on Mississippi Mau Mau, return of black WWII soldiers who become civil rights movement leaders -- Medgar Evers, Aaron Henry and Amzie Moore. Plus info on Nazi ties to Mississippi (Draper Fund). The source? A Rutgers University scholar, Dr. William Tucker, was unearthing sources of funding for academic research when he ran into a story about Mississippi that gave him a jolt.

Plus .. If pundit Pat Buchanan believes that black soldiers have never contributed to this country (as he recently stated), he might want to read about these three men. BTW, Buchanan's recent rant on MSNBC and FOX was only a reiteration of what Mississippi's infamous Sen. James O. Eastland once said on the floor of Congress following WWII. Looks like Buchanan is a lazy scholar since he didn't cite his source.

Photo, Amzie Moore service station in Cleveland, Miss. on HWY 61 where civil rights leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King, use to meet and strategize.
