Hugh Boren
Hugh Allen Boren (June 20, 1898 – October 16, 1964) was an assistant to Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett, a state legislator, and an investigator for the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission.[1] In 1944 he served in the Mississippi House of Representatives.[2]
He was born in Ratliff, Mississippi.[2] He became a lawyer in Tupelo, Mississippi.[3][4][5] He served as an assistant to Governor Barnett.[6][7][8]
He touted the achievements of "Negroes" in Tupelo and downplayed any strife.[9] He minimized the illness of Clyde Kennard, a Korean War veteran who attempted to attend the University of Mississippi.[7] Kennard was conspired against by the Sovereignty Commission, arrested on false charges, and became terminally ill while held in state prison.
