Product Description
This path-breaking examination of Black colleges in Mississippi during the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements offers a unique opportunity to understand how institutions are transformed into liberatory agents. Williamson looks at how campus constituents negotiated and clashed over local, state, and national pressures against the backdrop of the highly contentious conflict between those determined to protect racial hierarchy and others equally determined to cripple white supremacy. She shows how students challenged the notion of the university as an ivory tower, aloof from community affairs, and documents how these colleges tried to resolve the tension between activism and academics. Through the words and deeds of actual participants, this profoundly moving account also provides firsthand knowledge of how students balanced their pursuit of higher education with campus and societal reform.
