Description:
Hattiesburg, Miss.--Posters in the window of the Hattiesburg, Miss. offices
of the National Council of Churches' Mississippi Delta Ministry call
attention to various phases of the long-range relief, rehabilitation and
education program among impoverished Negroes and whites. Hailed by many and
criticized by others, largely for its encouragement of the Negro voter
registration and efforts to organize laborers, the Ministry is the first such
project in this country to receive support from the World Council of
Churches. Headquartered in Greenville, Ministry centers also are maintained
in Cleveland, Hattiesburg and McComb, Miss.
