Reverend John H. Scott was a minister and civil rights activist who was devoted to improving the quality of life for his people. He used his positions as pastor, president of the East Carroll Parish NAACP and president of the Baptist Association to help Black people find a measure of justice in their efforts to meet their physical, social, spiritual, legal and financial needs. He doggedly pursued the right to vote for over fifteen years, finally reaching his goal in 1962.
He served the northeast Louisiana community during perilous times. His struggle is chronicled in his book (along with daughter, Cleo Scott Brown) Witness to the Truth (University of South Carolina Press). A copy may be obtained through the Fund or from bookstores.
The John H. Scott Memorial Fund honors his memory and his work.
