Thomas Pickens Brady

[5] While there, in spite of his personal segregationist views, he ruled in 1965 a White-only park in Greenwood was to be integrated, and vacated one year later the conviction of a Black by an All-White grand jury.

[2][6][7] In an interview, Brady affirmed his passion for politics came on 1932, when he heard Paul B. Johnson Sr. and Martin Sennet Conner in Brookhaven.

He served as a Democratic National Committeeman from 1960 to 1964, on the urging of Ross Barnett and State Executive Committee members who wanted an anti-Civil Rights delegate to the Convention, and who thereafter refused to sign any loyalty pledge, describing this obligation as "smack[ing] of totalitarianism".

[1] On October 22, 1965, Time magazine said Brady "Not long ago ... was worst known as the philosopher of Mississippi's racist white Citizens' Councils", then mentioning he'd reversed the convictions of two Negro girls who tried to use an already integrated Greenville park.

[12]He later advocated the abolition of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, disbanding the public schools in order to sidestep rulings requiring integration, wanted an elected SCOTUS and the creation of a forty-ninth state for African Americans.
