(2) YA This intriguing book looks at how the supporters of segregation--in the form of the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission--gained and enforced their considerable power. Chronologically ordered, the volume climaxes with James Meredith's enrollment in the University of Mississippi in 1962, a story Bowers tells with journalistic immediacy. Reproduced documents (appended) from the actual commission allow the evidence to speak for itself. Bib., ind.
