| Item Description: | Includes bibliographical references (p. [445]-541) and index Ole Miss and race. "Welcome to Ole Miss, where everybody speaks" ; Following community mores : J.D. Williams and postwar race relations ; "I love colored people, but in their place" : segregation at Ole Miss ; "Negroes who didn't know their place" : early attempts at integration ; They will "want to dance with our girls" : unwritten rules and rebel athletics ; "Mississippi madness" : Will Campbell and Religious Emphasis Week ; Nemesis of the Southern way of life : Jim Silver ; "On the brink of disaster" : defending States' rights, anticommunism, and segregation ; "Thought control" : the editor and the professor -- James Meredith. The making of a militant conservative : J.H. Meredith ; "I regret to inform you -- " ; Meredith v. Fair I : "Delay, harassment, and masterly inactivity" ; Meredith v. Fair II : a "legal jungle" ; Negotiations : a game of checkers -- A fortress of segregation falls. Initial skirmishing : September 20-25, 1962 ; Confrontations : September 26-30, 1962 ; "A maelstrom of savagery and hatred" : the riot ; "Prisoner of war in a strange struggle" : Meredith at Ole Miss ; J.H. Meredith, Class of '63 ; "The fight for men's minds." University of Mississippi historian Eagles turns a critical eye on his own university in this exhaustive and exhausting look at racism at Ole Miss. Although James Meredith, the school's first black student, figures prominently in the title, he takes center stage only in the book's second half, which examines the opposition to his historic 1962 enrollment. With painstaking research and detail, Eagles explores the university's history, from its founding in 1848 as an alternative to Northern universities, where students might be exposed to abolitionist ideas. Eagles also shows how the foundation for Meredith's enrollment was laid by earlier black applicants, who included Medgar Evers (turned down for the law school in 1954) and a pastor named Clennon King, also rejected and placed in a mental hospital for 12 days following a politically motivated lunacy hearing after his rejection. In chapters dense with material from court rulings and memoirs by the parties involved, Eagles traces the legal and political standoff before Meredith's first day on campus and the university's eventual confrontation, with the fatal riot that ensued |

University of Mississippi historian Eagles turns a critical eye on his own university in this exhaustive and exhausting look at racism at Ole Miss. Although James Meredith, the school's first black student, figures prominently in the title, he takes center stage only in the book's second half, which examines the opposition to his historic 1962 enrollment. With painstaking research and detail, Eagles explores the university's history, from its founding in 1848 as an alternative to Northern universities, where students might be exposed to abolitionist ideas. Eagles also shows how the foundation for Meredith's enrollment was laid by earlier black applicants, who included Medgar Evers (turned down for the law school in 1954) and a pastor named Clennon King, also rejected and placed in a mental hospital for 12 days following a politically motivated lunacy hearing after his rejection. In chapters dense with material from court rulings and memoirs by the parties involved, Eagles traces the legal and political standoff before Meredith's first day on campus and the university's eventual confrontation, with the fatal riot that ensued Meredith, James / 1933- sears Meredith, James / 1933- fast Meredith, James 1933- Oxford <Miss.> / University of Mississippi swd University of Mississippi / History sears University of Mississippi fast University of Mississippi History University of Mississippi (DE-588)4221684-9 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1955-1963 gnd rswk-swf Bürgerrecht swd Civil rights / Oxford (Miss.) / History sears African Americans / Civil rights sears EDUCATION / Higher bisacsh SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / African American Studies bisacsh Bürgerrecht gnd African Americans / Civil rights fast Civil rights fast College integration fast Geschichte Schwarze.
