In the summer of 1960, Billy Barton, a journalism major at the University of Mississippi, worked as an intern at the Atlanta Journal. Barton, a reporter at the university newspaper, the Mississippian, was misidentified by a Citizens' Council informant as a sit-in participant and a member of the NAACP. As a result, Barton faced a number of damning accusations through a "whisper campaign" perpetuated by Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett, the Sovereignty Commission, and the Citizens' Council that ruined his reputation within what has been called the state's "Closed Society." In an effort to clear his name, Barton took his story to the press, igniting a firestorm of controversy concerning the treatment of the student journalist and challenging the pervasive nature of Mississippi's white ideology. While Barton's plight unified the majority of editors in the state, the Closed Society ultimately prevailed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fifty-five years ago the 1962-1963 school year had barely begun when Sidna Brower, the new editor of The Mississippian, the University of Mississippi student newspaper, was covering the murder of a newsman on campus, reporting on a race riot and facing censure by the student senate for an editorial she wrote calling on students to respect the law. She would receive a nomination for the Pulitzer Prize for her editorials written after James Meredith’s admission to the university and also the disdain of her sorority sisters for not speaking out against his admission. She established a scholarship in memory of the murdered newsman, Paul Guihard. The censure resolution stood for forty years, Guihard’s murderer was never identified, and Brower went on to own a weekly newspaper in New Jersey, using the journalistic philosophy she honed while a college senior to lead an award-winning paper in suburban New York City. Brower was not alone among university editors in the South who faced down their peers and took strong positions related to segregation. Her story is unique because although she favored integration, she never advocated for desegregation, believing it would increase the animosity on campus. The desegregation of other universities across the South was contentious, but, for the most part, campus opposition did not rise to the level of a riot, nor was the U.S. Army needed to enforce federal desegregation court orders.
