"In 1960, students supporting civil rights moved into Mississippi and challenged white
supremacy by encouraging African Americans to reassert the rights guaranteed them
under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. The
ensuing social upheaval changed the state forever. In Student Activism and Civil Rights
in Mississippi, James P. Marshall, a former civil rights activist, tells the complete
story of the quest for racial equality in Mississippi. Using a variety of sources
as well as his own memories, Marshall weaves together an astonishing account of student
protestors and local activists who risked their lives by fighting against southern
resistance and federal inaction. Their efforts, and the horrific violence inflicted
on them, helped push many non-southerners and the federal government into action,
culminating in the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights
Act--measures that destroyed legalized segregation and disfranchisement."--Publisher
