True Democrat and Bob are absolutely right.
Holmes county for example is nearly 80% black, and while I could not find voter registration statistics for that county in 1964, I did notice that in the state of Mississippi only 33% of the voting age population voted, wheras the national average was around 62% of the voting age population. It is pretty safe to say that the reason for this is the high % of blacks that did not or could not vote.
