Yazoo
Integration in a Deep-southern Town
In 1970 Brown v. Board of Education was sixteen years old, and fifteen years had passed since the Brown II mandate that schools integrate 'with all deliberate speed'. Still, after all this time, it was necessary for the US Supreme Court to order thirty Mississippi school districts to integrate immediately. One of these districts included Yazoo City. This is part reportage, part memoir, part ethnography, part social critique - and one of the richest accounts we have of a community's attempt to come to terms with the realities of seismic social change.
