Contributions by Chris Myers Asch, Emilye Crosby, David Cunningham,
Jelani Favors, Francoise N. Hamlin, Wesley Hogan, Robert Luckett,
Carter Dalton Lyon, Byron D'Andra Orey, Ted Ownby, Joseph T. Reiff,
Akinyele Umoja, and Michael Vinson Williams Based on new research
and combining multiple scholarly approaches, these twelve essays
tell new stories about the civil rights movement in the state most
resistant to change. Wesley Hogan, Francoise N. Hamlin, and Michael
Vinson Williams raise questions about how civil rights organizing
took place. Three pairs of essays address African Americans' and
whites' stories on education, religion, and the issues of violence.
Jelani Favors and Robert Luckett analyze civil rights issues on the
campuses of Jackson State University and the University of
Mississippi. Carter Dalton Lyon and Joseph T. Reiff study people
who confronted the question of how their religion related to their
possible involvement in civil rights activism. By studying the Ku
Klux Klan and the Deacons for Defense in Mississippi, David
Cunningham and Akinyele Umoja ask who chose to use violence or to
raise its possibility. The final three chapters describe some of
the consequences and continuing questions raised by the civil
rights movement. Byron D'Andra Orey analyzes the degree to which
voting rights translated into political power for African American
legislators. Chris Myers Asch studies a Freedom School that started
in recent years in the Mississippi Delta. Emilye Crosby details the
conflicting memories of Claiborne County residents and the parts of
the civil rights movement they recall or ignore. As a group, the
essays introduce numerous new characters and conundrums into civil
rights scholarship, advance efforts to study African Americans and
whites as interactive agents in the complex stories, and encourage
historians to pull civil rights scholarship closer toward the
present.
