Louisiana State Sovereignty Commission

[1] It allied with the Louisiana Joint Legislative Committee on Un-American Activities,[2] and coordinated with the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission.

[4] As a response to Brown v. Board of Education, Louisiana Governor Jimmie Davis created this group through the passage of state legislation.

[8] The pro-segregation propaganda film A Way of Life (1961), was released for the group as part of the Louisiana: A History series, produced by Avalon Daggett.

[9] The group employed investigators and was prosecuted for the use of illegal wiretaps in order to victimize Wade Mackie, of the American Friends Service Committee; Irvin Cheney, the former pastor of the Broadmoor Baptist Church in Baton Rouge; and Marvin Reznikoff the Rabbi of the Liberal Synagogue.

[10] Yasuhiro Katagiri wrote in his 2009 book the records for Louisiana's group were "apparently burned" after they ceased operations.
