In less than two years the White Citizens Council movement, starting in Mississippi, has spilled across into other Southern states including Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, South Carolina and Tennessee. It embraces and offers leadership to dozens of home-grown, white-supremacy outfits like White America Inc., Patriots of North Carolina Inc., Southern Gentlemen's Organization, Pro Southerners, Caucasian League, Citizens Segregation Committee, Knights of the White Christians and the National Association for the Advancement of White People in their local programs of obstruction and defiance of the historic Supreme Court segregation decision of May 17, 1954.
