Mississippi ran a terroristic apartheid system for decades. In May of 1970, the Mississippi highway Patrol fired on students as Jackson State University. Just nine years before you were born. In 1920 Census, Black residents accounted for 52% of Mississippi's population; by 40's the tide turned.

As Hitchens, said Reagan was a "cruel and stupid lizard." Magical no. His ushered in the start of a one party state in Mississippi. White nationalism might have required the state to wither away but they noticed that kleptocracy, disfranchisement & cruelty are best applied by levers of government.
