Answer:

Mississippi Freedom Democratic party (mfdp) emerged at the Democratic party convention in the Atlantic city in 1964 because African-Americans in Mississippi were not allowed to cast their votes at the official election. Therefore, they created a "Freedom Ballout" as a means of protest in order to show their denial of their constitutional rights. Such action led to the creation of Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party was founded by Fannie Hamer, Ella Baker and Bob Moses in 1964.
