broadcast on local radio and television on September 13, 1962. I speak to you now in the moment of our greatest crisis since the War Between the States . . . I have said in every county in Mississippi that no school in our state will be integrated while I am your governor. I repeat to you tonight: no school in our state will be integrated while I am your governor. There is no case in history where the Caucasian race has survived social integration. We will not drink from the cup of genocide.
Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett.
