Florence Carson Sillers Ogden (October 2, 1891 – June 23, 1971) was an American newspaper columnist, socialite, conservative political activist, and segregationist. She wrote the column Dis 'n' Dat for the Delta Democrat Times in Greenville and The Clarion-Ledger in Jackson, where she commented on political, social, and economic issues in the United States. A member of a prominent Mississippi family, Ogden was an active member of multiple women's organizations including the Daughters of the American Revolution and the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and was a founding member of Women for Constitutional Government. She used her social influence to organize conservative political movements in Mississippi, promote women's involvement in politics, and defend white supremacy. Ogden was an avid supporter of the White Citizens' Councils, criticized liberal shifts in the National Council of Churches, opposed immigration reform, and publicly denounced the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. A Dixiecrat, she pushed for conservative agendas within the Democratic Party and contributed to the Republican Party's shift to political and cultural dominance in the Deep South.
