On Civil Rights: First black Mississippian in Congress since Reconstruction

Mike Espy, who in 1987 became the first black Mississippian elected to Congress since Reconstruction, called the [newly-opened Mississippi Civil Rights Museum] "an unvarnished portrayal of what happened years ago. Everyone should see it, regardless of race and age. Many will be impressed, but all will be affected."
