Isbn: 9780195380422 - the battle of ole miss: civil rights v states' rights (9 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Good. James Meredith broke the color barrier in 1962 as the first African American student at Ole Miss. The violent riot that followed would be one of the most deadly clashes of the civil rights era, seriously wounding scores of U.S. Marshals and killing two civilians, forcing the federal government to send thousands of soldiers to restore the peace.

He explores why James Meredith deemed it important enough to risk his life to enter Ole Miss and why many of the white students resisted Meredith's joining the school. Perhaps most important, Lambert captures the complex and confused reactions of the students, most of whom had never given race a second thought and many were not against Meredith attending Ole Miss.…
