In the article,"On violence & Nonvioence:The Civil rights movement in Mississippi",by Curtis J. Austin,the author addresses the idea of Mississippi being one of the most racist and violent state in the U.S before the civil rights movement.He makes several interesting points in his article.For Example,he talks about people who were beating and killed because they supported a black person's right to vote.Most time white people were not aressted for their crimes but if they did the minimal sentence would be 2 to 10 years.He also talks about when the white people tried to register black people to vote & they were killed.From this event people started to notice because it was getting media attention.I think what happened was not right and unjust but its good that from that event people and the media took notice of it.
