"Lou" Major, former editor and publisher of the Bogalusa Daily News. The book details Major’s efforts to use his position as a White newspaper publisher to expose and oppose the Ku Klux Klan’s violent activities and White supremacy in Bogalusa, Louisiana, during the civil rights era. It highlights the challenges and threats Major and his newsroom faced for their advocacy of racial equity and truthful reporting on racial terror. The memoir incorporates Major’s firsthand accounts, editorials, reader letters, and a timeline to provide a comprehensive view of the racial tensions and the role of journalism in confronting systemic racism. This work offers valuable historical insight into the intersection of journalism, race relations, and civil rights activism in the American South. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
