From 1965 to 1974, Liberty House provided training, supplies, and even markets for goods made by African American men and women, many small Mississippi towns. Besides crafts cooperatives across the state, and Jackson as its headquarters, there were Liberty Houses in several major cities across the country.

Hillhouse, Mississippi. Negro cabins are on one side, white cabins on the other.&rdquo; (1937) by Dorothea Lange. Library of Congress, LC-DIG-fsa-8b32083.<\/figcaption>\n    <\/figure>\n    <p class=\"prose\">In his book, <em>Providence<\/em> (2002), Will Campbell wrote about his experiences at one of these cooperative farms in Mississippi. Cooperatives, whether they are farm, craft, or other, share in the desire to empower people. However, the focus and approach differ by the type of cooperative.<\/p>\n    <h3 class=\"subh\">Cooperative Movement in the South, 1960s-1970s<\/h3>\n    <p class=\"prose\">Cooperatives appealed to Jesse Morris and Doris Derby over other forms of intentional community because the main idea behind them was self-help. When Morris planned Liberty House, he wanted people would learn a craft\/trade and earn a living under their own terms. There was also the idea generating wealth and keeping it in the black community. He was a practical man who had little use for ideologues.<\/p>\n    <p class=\"prose\">Cooperative Movement has a long history in the United States but the major umbrella cooperative organizations that were active and linked to Liberty House (LH) early on were Berkeley Coops, Consumer Cooperative Society, Palo Alto, CA, Cooperative League of the USA out of Chicago, and the Federation of Southern Cooperatives (FSC). Currently, the FSC has offices in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and other places. The FSC training school is in Epes, Alabama. Liberty House had strong links to FSC.<\/p>\n    <h3 class=\"subh\">Forms of Black Empowerment<\/h3>\n    <p class=\"prose\">Poor People&rsquo;s Corporation (PPC) was a precursor to the Poor People&rsquo;s Campaign and March. Although they worked to the same end&mdash;empowering people, the Poor People&rsquo;s Corporation was focused on cooperatives. Jesse Morris, Doris Derby and others believed the best way to help marginalized African Americans, such as those found in the Mississippi Delta was by teaching them crafts and how to operate small businesses. PPC was founded a few years before the Black Power movement came into the public focus.<\/p>\n    <p class=\"prose\">There were some affiliated organizations that PPC members were a part of prior to Liberty House such as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Moreover, several initiatives had already happened in Mississippi that established resources, structures, and links for future endeavors such as Liberty House. The Mississippi Summer Project of 1964 is one example.<\/p>\n    <figure class=\"fig\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jsums.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2026\/10\/Picture2.png\" alt=\"Mississippi Project 1964\" title=\"Liberty House and Craft Cooperatives\">\n      <figcaption>Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, photograph by T. Kersen, 2021<\/figcaption>\n    <\/figure>\n    <h3 class=\"subh\">Some Affiliated Civil Rights Organizations<\/h3>\n    <p class=\"prose\">The importance of groups affiliated with Liberty House cannot be overstated. They offered advice and support. In some cases, it is from this organizations that staff had their start in community organization. Some of those organizations are Council on Federal Organizations (COFO), Congress on Racial Equality (CORE), Freedom Democratic Party (FDP), National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).<\/p>\n    <h3 class=\"subh\">Other Groups &amp; Organizations<\/h3>\n    <p class=\"prose\">Jesse Morris had a lot of connections in Mississippi and around the country. Some important religious organizations early in the rise of Liberty House were the Delta Ministry, Episcopalians, Religious Society of Friends, Unitarians. These groups supported and helped distribute PPC brochures in places like Philadelphia and Highlander Folk School in Tennessee. Jesse Morris and Myles Horton, cofounder of Highlander Folk School, knew each other well and worked together on a number of issues.<\/p>\n    <p class=\"prose\">Liberty House was also part of the counterculture scene in Jackson. The cooperative advertised in <em>Kudzu<\/em>, an underground newspaper based in Jackson not far from Liberty House headquarters. Readers could go to Liberty House to get the latest copies of <em>Kudzu<\/em> too&ndash;often a difficult task given the fact that authorities were actively trying to keep the paper out of the hands of young people.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"gallery\">\n      <figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jsums.org\/margaretwalkercenter\/files\/2022\/03\/tempImageEJcutn.jpg\" alt=\"Copy of the underground newspaper Kudzu from the Kersen collection\" title=\"Liberty House and Craft Cooperatives\"><figcaption>Kudzu in Kersen collection.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n      <figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jsums.org\/margaretwalkercenter\/files\/2022\/03\/tempImage7sU0pp.jpg\" alt=\"Liberty House advertisement printed in Kudzu\" title=\"Liberty House and Craft Cooperatives\"><figcaption>Liberty House advertisement in Kudzu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n      <figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jsums.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2026\/10\/tempImage4zYeQH-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Kudzu dropoff site and staff\" title=\"Liberty House and Craft Cooperatives\"><figcaption>Dropoff Site &amp; Kudzu Staff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n    <\/div>\n    <h3 class=\"subh\">Poor People&rsquo;s Corporation (PPC)<\/h3>\n    <p class=\"prose\">In 1965, the Poor People&rsquo;s Corporation (PPC)\/Liberty House (LH) opened in Jackson, Mississippi. According to a <em>Washington Post<\/em> article by Don Robinson, dated January 16, 1967, PPC &ldquo;&hellip;manifests a trend which has seen the Southern civil rights movement attempt to set up a series of local businesses cooperatives.&rdquo; Although Mississippi Sovereignty Commission monitored PPC\/LH, it wasn&rsquo;t considered a threat by Jesse Morris or Doris Derby, even though Morris, after his Liberty House tenure, suspected Mississippi Sovereignty Commission had someone who had infiltrated Liberty House. The PPC executive director was Jesse Morris, formerly a leader within the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Doris Derby was also a former SNCC worker, an educator in northern Mississippi for Headstart before coming to PPC. At PPC she wore many hats but was involved with marketing and publicity. Other important staff such as Lary Rand, manager, Ian Tomlin, who was the designer and responsible for the catalog.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"gallery\">\n      <figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jsums.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2026\/10\/Picture8.png\" alt=\"Jesse Morris, Founder and Executive Director of the Poor People's Corporation\" title=\"Liberty House and Craft Cooperatives\"><\/figure>\n      <figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jsums.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2026\/10\/Picture9.png\" alt=\"Doris Derby, External Development Officer of the Poor People's Corporation\" title=\"Liberty House and Craft Cooperatives\"><\/figure>\n      <figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jsums.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2026\/10\/Picture1-2.png\" alt=\"Doug Jenkins, Craft Cooperatives Liaison\" title=\"Liberty House and Craft Cooperatives\"><\/figure>\n    <\/div>\n    <p class=\"gcap\">Jesse Morris, standing &ndash; Founder, Executive Director, Coordinator of Internal and External Organizational Liaisons and New projects.

Those weaknesses led to chronic money problems for Liberty House Jackson. In its final years, many craft cooperatives were not getting paid on time or at all. According to historian William Sturkey, &ldquo;By 1970, Liberty House was going broke, (pg. 54).&rdquo; Besides funding, quality of goods was a problem for some cooperatives. Conflict between workers in the cooperatives was a problem too. The PPC closed down for good in 1974 (pg. 57).<\/p>\n    <h3 class=\"subh\">Firsts<\/h3>\n    <p class=\"prose\">PPC\/Liberty House was one of the earliest civil rights endeavors focusing on black economic empowerment. It was one of the first African American crafts-work cooperatives. Because of the work of Doris Derby and others, traditional African clothing was integrated into the Jackson State University homecoming event for the first time in 1970.<\/p>\n    <figure class=\"fig\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jsums.org\/margaretwalkercenter\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture42.png\" alt=\"Black rag dolls made by Liberty House for African American children\" title=\"Liberty House and Craft Cooperatives\">\n    <\/figure>\n    <p class=\"prose\">Besides being on the forefront of cooperative endeavors in the south, Liberty House empowered people and communities. One social psychological aspect of empowerment was something as small as a doll. Doris Derby told a story about a picture of two black girls, one of them holding a white doll. Liberty House made black male and female rag dolls for African American children across the country. Derby saw a picture of those dolls in a book of photographs in Colorado. She knew that those dolls helped children see themselves in a positive way.<\/p>\n    <h3 class=\"subh\">A Seed<\/h3>\n    <p class=\"prose\">Liberty House was created to counter the oppression and marginalization of African Americans in Mississippi. Through Liberty House, many people, especially elderly black women learned a craft and even how to manage a small business. In today&rsquo;s terminology, such an endeavor is called small business generators or labs and are often found on college campuses. Federation of Southern Cooperatives continues to do good work in Alabama and surrounding states.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"gallery\">\n      <figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jsums.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2026\/10\/Picture43.jpg\" alt=\"Founding member Carol Zippert meeting with Kersen in 2007\" title=\"Liberty House and Craft Cooperatives\"><figcaption>Founding member Carol Zippert meeting with Kersen in 2007 to talk about Federation of Southern Cooperatives and show some of the crafts that organization produced over the years.

These and other crafts are still being made and sold. Photograph by T. Kersen, 2007.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n    <\/div>\n    <h3 class=\"subh\">The Importance of Cooperatives<\/h3>\n    <p class=\"prose\">The historical significance of PPC rests on the fact that Liberty House and the crafts cooperatives spread across the state were connected to civil rights organizations at both the local, state, and national level. These cooperatives offer a glimpse in the structure and networking processes of civil rights organizations, like the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, operated in the state. The cooperatives provided jobs for local African Americans. Understanding the cooperative movement in Mississippi and other southern states offers insights into local economic conditions for African American communities during the late-1960s and early-1970s. The products produced by the cooperative workers were not just sold in Mississippi. Shops selling the products were opened in several cities in the United States.<\/p>\n    <h3 class=\"subh\">Concluding Thoughts<\/h3>\n    <p class=\"prose\">This research and exhibit adds to the history of an alternative economic\/labor system for marginalized people in Mississippi. Furthermore, this exhibit offers insights into the strategies used by Mississippians and outsiders to enact progressive change in their lives and communities. Lastly, researchers and community organizers will learn the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats encountered by Poor Peoples Corporation and Liberty House.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section class=\"sec sec--off\" id=\"reading\" aria-labelledby=\"rd-h\">\n  <div class=\"w\">\n    <div class=\"sec-head\"><span class=\"sec-eyebrow\">References<\/span>\n      <h2 class=\"sec-title\" id=\"rd-h\">Suggested Reading<\/h2><\/div>\n    <ul class=\"biblist\">\n      <li>Case, John and Rosemary Taylor, eds., <em>Co-Ops, Communes, &amp; Collectives: Experiments in Social Change in the 1960s and 1970s,<\/em> (New York: Pantheon, 1979).<\/li>\n      <li>De Muth, Jerry &ldquo;Poor People&rsquo;s Co-ops,&rdquo; <em>America<\/em> 118, (December 1970): 489-490.<\/li>\n      <li>Jackall, Robert and Henry Levin, eds. <em>Worker Cooperatives in America<\/em> (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1984).<\/li>\n      <li>Marshall, F.
