McComb
is a city in Pike County in south-central Mississippi, approximately 80 miles south of Jackson. As of the 2010 census, the population was 13,644 residents. Founded in 1872 as a railroad town, the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern railroad maintenance shops were moved here from New Orleans. It was decided that McComb was a better location, away from New Orleans saloons and other attractions. McComb Main Street in the downtown area is where you'll find all the shops, attractions, and business. During the 1960s, McComb played a critical role in the Civil Rights Movement. It was the location of SNCCs first voter registration project which was met with violence and intimidation on the part of authorities and the KKK. More than 100 McComb high school students were arrested in 1961 for protesting the murder of voter-registration activist Herbert Lee and the expulsion of Brenda Travis. McComb was the setting for several bombings involving racial strife. Malcolm Boyd took part of COFOs Freedom House as a member of a clerical delegation to assist African-American voter registration. Attractions include the McComb Railroad Museum, proclaimed the best rail museum south of Chicago, and Railroad Town.
