HR 49 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Clinton Massacre; commemorate 150th anniversary of the tragedy and remember the lives lost.

HR 49 is a resolution commemorating the 150th anniversary of the 1875 Clinton Massacre in Clinton, Mississippi, honoring the African Americans killed during a political rally and subsequent violence. The resolution references the 1876 Boutwell Report, which documented that the violence was orchestrated by Democrats to suppress Black voting rights and end Reconstruction in Mississippi. It specifically acknowledges the event as part of the Democratic Party's "Mississippi Plan" to regain political control through racial terror. The resolution serves as a symbolic recognition of historical injustice, with no policy changes or direct impact on current constituents.
