The case is about a boycott organized by the NAACP against white businesses in Claiborne County. The Mississippi Supreme Court found the boycott to be illegal due to violence and threats by the defendants. The court imposed damages of over $1 million on all petitioners and held the NAACP fully liable. The case raises questions about whether the defendants' activities are protected by the First Amendment.
