[0260a] Byron de la Beckwith Correspondence, Photographs, and Other Materials, circa 1940-1992, MS.3439
Location: Special Collections, University Libraries, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, 121 John C. Hodges Library, 1015 Volunteer Boulevard, Knoxville, TN 37996-1000
Description: Byron de la Beckwith (1920-2001) was a white supremacist and ordained minister in Christian Identity. This collection consists primarily of letters that de la Beckwith wrote to his wife, Mary Louise (Williams) Beckwith, his son, Byron de la Beckwith Jr., and his brother- and sister-in-law, Jesse and Frances Williams, while he was incarcerated before and during his first trial for the murder of NAACP leader Medgar Evers. Another set of correspondence was written between Beckwith and his nephew, B. Reed Massengill, while Massengill was working on a never-completed book chronicling Beckwith's life. Also included are photographs (some of which were published in Massengill's Portrait of a Racist) showing Beckwith and his family. In the letters to Massengill, Beckwith's Christian Identity principles are displayed prominently. Beckwith also enclosed leaflets, newspapers, and other items published by such organizations as the Christian Defense League, Aryan Nations, and the Ku Klux Klan for Massengill's edification.

[0260b] Byron de la Beckwith Letter, 1972, MS.2271
Location: Special Collections, University Libraries, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, 121 John C. Hodges Library, 1015 Volunteer Boulevard, Knoxville, TN 37996-1000
Description: Byron De La Beckwith (1920-2001) was an American white supremacist and the assassin of civil rights leader Medgar Evers on June 12, 1963, in Jackson, MS. He was twice tried for Evers' murder in 1964, but avoided convictions when the juries both returned deadlocked. Based on new evidence that he had boasted about the assassination at a Ku Klux Klan rally, De La Beckwith was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1994. In 2001, while his case was still being appealed, he died of heart problems in prison. The letter is a March 21, 1972, handwritten letter of application for employment with Bryan Brothers Packing Company in West Point, MS.
