For ten months, integrated groups of ministers and laypeople attempted to attend Sunday worship services at all-white Protestant and Catholic churches in the state's capital city. While the church visit was a common tactic of activists in the early 1960s, Jackson was the only city where groups mounted a sustained campaign targeting a wide variety of white churches. Carter Dalton Lyon situates the visits within the context of the Jackson Movement, church visits and kneel-ins in other cities, and controversies over race within churches and denominations. He then traces the campaign from its inception in early June 1963 through Easter Sunday 1964, highlighting the motivations of the various people and organizations, the interracial dialogue that took place on the church steps, the divisions and turmoil created within churches and denominations by the campaign, the decisions by individual congregations to exclude black visitors, and the efforts by the state and the Citizens' Council to thwart the integration attempts. Sanctuaries of Segregation provides a unique perspective of how a church community and individual church people reacted to civil rights activists and the movement as a whole during those tumultuous years."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Civil rights movements $z Jackson $z Jackson $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $z Jackson $z Jackson $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Civil rights $z Mississippi $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Civil rights workers $x History $z Mississippi $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Segregation $x History $x Christianity $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Jackson (Miss.) $x Church history $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Jackson (Miss.) $x Race relations. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lyon, Carter Dalton, author. $t Sanctuaries of segregation. $d Jackson, MS : University Press of Mississippi, [2017] $z 9781496810755 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170907010433.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=13B3193C2FC611E7A3652FCCDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
