  In the 1960s, Mississippi was the heart of white southern resistance to the civil-rights movement. This work shows how Mississippi leaders strategically accommodated themselves to the demands of civil-rights activists and the federal government seeking to end Jim Crow, and in so doing contributed to a vibrant conservative countermovement.
