Mississippi occupies a distinct and dramatic place in the history of America's civil rights movement. No state in the South was more resistant to the struggle for black equality. No place was more violent.
The American RadioWorks documentary "State of Siege" brings to light the extraordinary tactics whites in Mississippi used to battle integration, and the lasting impact of that battle in American politics today.
