The Man Behind Mississippi's Racism,
By Susan Klopfer "Susan" (Gallup, New Mexico where I enjoy the beauty of the high desert) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Funding of Scientific Racism: WICKLIFFE DRAPER AND THE PIONEER FUND (Hardcover)
William Tucker, a careful academic, uncovered quite a story when he wrote this book. The New York Times should hire him and pay him well ... Wickliffe Draper was the man behind the money when Mississippi's Sovereignty Commission and others attempted to block passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Draper also helped fund private, racist schools throughout the state. And what is so tragic, even though he is long gone, the "foundation" lives on. This is a fascinating and not a difficult read. Anyone interested in U.S. history will enjoy Tucker's contribution.
