Recovering the history of an often-ignored landmark Supreme Court
case, William P. Hustwit assesses the significant role that
Alexander v. Holmes (1969) played in integrating the South's public
schools. Although Brown v. Board of Education has rightly received
the lion's share of historical analysis, its ambiguous language for
implementation led to more than a decade of delays and resistance
by local and state governments. Alexander v. Holmes required
""integration now,"" and less than a year later, thousands of
children were attending integrated schools. Hustwit traces the
progression of the Alexander case to show how grassroots activists
in Mississippi operated hand in glove with lawyers and judges
involved in the litigation. By combining a narrative of the larger
legal battle surrounding the case and the story of the local
activists who pressed for change, Hustwit offers an innovative,
well-researched account of a definitive legal decision that reaches
from the cotton fields of Holmes County to the chambers of the
Supreme Court in Washington.
