Nellah Massey Bailey

“As Supreme Court clerk, she was concerned that the public had an accurate and wholesome understanding of and appreciation for the court and its function in the promotion of the common well being through equal and fair justice for all”

“Mrs. Bailey was a woman of unusual personal charm and outstanding ability.”

“The next four years will see the accomplishment of many of the dreams and programs of Governor Bailey, and it is but natural that I want to be a part of that administration. Tom Bailey worked hard for Mississippi, and I shall endeavor to give my best to the state he loved so well.”

“We leaders of our state must break down the prejudice which exists in Mississippi against women in the service. It is an honour for a young woman to serve her nation in this day of strife.”
