Table of ContentsReviewsThis work represents a notable contribution to the study of journalism history, civil rights, and southern culture. Both disheartening and inspiring, it provides a detailed study of a woman journalist wedded to the rights of free speech and free press in an oppressive society. It details with painstaking care her concern for justice in the face of massive resistance to integration in Mississippi in mid-twentieth-century America. Any reader concerned with the history of race relations in the United States will find this work illuminating and heartbreaking. --Maurine H.
