How some Southern editors handled desegregation in the 60s.,
By JAKE LAMKINS (Arkansaw) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Press and Race : Mississippi Journalists Confront the Movement (Hardcover)
These nine essays take a close look at how various editors in Mississippi and the South covered the desegregation crisis of the 60s. The courage displayed by them in reporting the news accurately when the majority of their neighbors and customers felt the opposite way makes for very interesting reading. One is struck by the bravery of these editors in sticking to their sense of fair play, justice and accuracy. They played an important, and little known, role in how desegregation was finally accomplished. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand the South and the events of the 60s there.
