About this listen

In the late 1800s, Minnie Cox became the first African American Postmistress in Mississippi, and was later a part of The Indianola Affair, which "sparked the first major debate about race, states’ rights, and federal power in the United States Congress since Reconstruction." - Shennette Garrett-Scott, Mississippi History Now
