Ralph McGill (1898-1969) was the editor in chief of the Atlanta
Constitution during the turbulent years of the civil rights
movement that followed Brown v. Board of Education, and he became
an outspoken advocate for integration and racial tolerance in the
South. In this Southern Classics edition, Angie Maxwell offers a
new critical introduction that analyzes McGill's as an activist and
advocate for social change.The editorials that compose A Church, a
School marked McGill's emergence as a prolific advocate of
nonviolence and social responsibility and evidenced the progressive
values of the Constitution. A Church, a School contains twenty-nine
editorials that elucidate the historical record of liberal Southern
participation in the civil rights movement. This is not a record of
what happened in the South in the late 1950s; rather it is a map of
the intellectual and psychological terrain that liberal
journalists, such as McGill, traveled and the obstacles they
encountered.
