From the Paper:

"Mississippi is one of the poorest states in the nation. Even today, the state boasts "a judicial system in which 70 percent of the prisoners are black, while the state's population is only 36 percent black, and a state per capita income that is only two-thirds of the national average" (Krane and Shaffer 4). Mississippi's history has always been a bit behind the times, and the period of 1944 through 1964 was no exception. The state made some great strides ahead in many areas, but still managed to lag behind the rest of the nation in many areas."
