Aaron Henry, chairman of the Mississippi Freedom Party Delegation to the Democratic National Convention, will speak on "Southern Politics" at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Sanders Theater.
Henry, a druggist in Clarksdale, Miss., has had a leading role in the Mississippi civil rights movement from its beginning. In a mock election conducted by the Freedom Democratic Party two weeks ago, he ran against Senator John Stennis (D-Miss.) and received some 63,000 votes, mostly from disenfranchised Mississippi Negroes.
Henry is also state president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and chairman of the Council of Federated Organizations.
