Mississippi's conflicted history of race relations, and portrayals of that history in film and books, is one reason why some are quick to associate the Southern state with racism and economic disparities, perceptions more likely to be held by non-Mississippians.
Rick Looser, a Mississippi-based advertising executive, is at the center of a campaign aimed at dispelling common stereotypes about the state. Materials from the ad blitz, "Mississippi, Believe It," have been strategically circulated among the nation's top newspapers, magazines and among the state's colleges and universities.
