  • Let the People Decide: Black Freedom and White Resistance Movements in Sunflower County, Mississippi, 1945–1986 is a 2004 book written by J. Todd Moye and published by the University of North Carolina Press. It discusses the events in Sunflower County, Mississippi during the Civil Rights Movement of 1954 through 1968, including a post-Brown v. Board of Education movement and a 1960s action led by Fannie Lou Hamer. The book also chronicles the subsequent aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement until the year 1986. This includes a 1980s education reform movement. The final issue discussed is a strike. Let the People Decide is the first published overview book of the Sunflower County civil rights movements, defined by the author as three separate and interconnected movements. It documents changing African-American attitudes towards race and the background of the White community's resistance movement. Moye concluded that "the class differences that developed in African American communities over time [which] profoundly affected the goals and strategies of the movements they created" as stated on p. 23. Moye stated that there were many civil rights movements occurring throughout the United States and that the influences of economics and social class also caused differences. On p. 204 Moye stated that at as of 2004, in Sunflower County "a successful civil rights movement created a better business climate"; Mark Newman of the University of Edinburgh stated that Moye did not provide the relevant figures proving this point.
