Following the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, Saucier began to implement desegregation 24 years later, one of the last towns to integrate schools. The Ku Klux Klan requested to hold a rally on the grounds of Saucier Elementary but were denied by school board out of concern of inflaming tensions. The Mississippi Civil Liberities Union (the ACLU) joined on behalf of the Klan, who won the lawsuit.
