Archive of the JFP’s Coverage of the Dee-Moore Case


Following are links to the Jackson Free Press' full, and ongoing, package of stories about 1960s Klan activity in the Natchez-Meadville-Roxie, Miss., area, starting with the award-winning investigative story by Donna Ladd and a team of young Mississippians, working with David Ridgen, a documentary filmmaker from the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., to chronicle Thomas' Moore's 2005 return to Mississippi to seek justice for his brother's murder.

In the first story, the Jackson Free Press first reported the news that both of the main Klan suspects are still alive in the Natchez area—although The Clarion-Ledger and other media had previously reported that the primary suspect had died. The most recent addition is a never-told story about Rev. Clyde Bennie Briggs, a black preacher who fought the Klan in the 1960s, and inadvertently played a role in the Dee-Moore murders.

Dee-Moore Memorial to be placed in Meadville on Memorial Day. I have the .pdf version of the press release as well as a short rundown on the sequence of events, with attention to the JFP's involvement, something which has gone almost uncovered in the national press.
