Preferred term

Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party  

Definition

  • The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP), which was also known as the Freedom Democratic Party (FDP), was active from 1964 to 1968 in endeavoring to obtain political power for Mississippians who were kept disenfranchised by the racists of the Mississippi Democratic Party (MDP). The MFDP was comprised of civil rights organizations and a considerable number of African residents of Mississippi, and their goals were to replace the MDP within the national Democratic Party, empower the black population in Mississippi, and expose the racist terror that prevented enfranchisement in the South.
