State of Mississippi, putting towns in context

Mississippi Congressional Districts

after 1990 census

Mississippi Congressional Districts have fluctuated widely in number and shape as censuses have come and gone. The 5th District disappeared after the 2000 census. A tantalizing Google book hit on "Figure 3.2: Mississippi Congressional Districts 1962 and 1966" in Federal Solutions to Ethnic Problems: Accommodating Diversity omitted the figure. At left is the earliest map I could find, and obviously the 5th district had changed since the 60s, since Marion County (see below) isn't in it.

Amory to Columbia

Amory Presbyterian Church (above) was where Rev. Bill McAtee (shown there in 1960) was pastor prior to the Columbia Presbyterian Church's (below) pastoral search committee flying up to meet and possibly recruit him in March 1964. I've provided a series of letters covering that period.

Philadelphia is noted here only because it was the location of the Summer-1964 game-changing murders of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner. It wasn't part of my experience.

Note: during my stay, I never saw Bogalusa in print, so I spelled it "Bogaloosa"

The historical society tells me the roof is green rather than blue; I somehow remember more of a regular square; the structures on the south side weren't there.
