  • Clyde Kennard (June 12, 1927 – July 4, 1963) was an American Korean War veteran and civil rights leader from Hattiesburg, Mississippi. In the 1950s, he attempted several times to enroll at the all-white Mississippi Southern College (now the University of Southern Mississippi) to complete his undergraduate degree started at the University of Chicago. Although the United States Supreme Court had ruled in 1954 that segregation of public schools was unconstitutional, the college rejected him. Kennard was among the thousands of local activists in the 1940s and 1950s who pressed for their rights. After Kennard published a letter in the local paper about integrated education, the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission, a state-supported agency, conspired to have him arrested on false charges. He was convicted and sentenced to seven years at Parchman Penitentiary, the state's notorious high-security prison. He became terminally ill with cancer. The state governor refused to pardon him, but released him on parole in January 1963. Kennard died that year in July. After publication in 2005 of evidence that Kennard had been framed, supporters tried to secure a posthumous pardon for him, but Governor Haley Barbour refused. Supporters gained Barbour's cooperation in petitioning the court to review Kennard's case, and in 2006, his conviction was overturned completely. (en)
  • Clyde Kennard, né le 12 juin 1927 à Hattiesburg et mort le 5 juillet 1963, est un pionnier américain des droits civiques dans le Mississippi dans le cadre du mouvement afro-américain des droits civiques. Dans les années 1950, après son service dans l'armée, il tente à plusieurs reprises de s'inscrire au Mississippi Southern College (désormais connue comme l'Université du Mississippi du Sud). Ségrégée, l'université n'accepte pas son inscription bien que la Cour suprême des États-Unis ait statué en 1954 que la ségrégation des écoles publiques était inconstitutionnelle. Arrêté et condamné sur de fausses accusations, il meurt d'un cancer en prison peu après une libération conditionnelle. Après la publication en 2005 de preuves que Kennard avait été faussement condamné, des militants ont essayé de lui accorder une annulation posthume de la condamnation. (fr)
