His Calm After the Storm
Have you ever in your wildest dreams imagined being in a massive, violent tornado like the one that swept through Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on April 27, 2011? This is what one man experienced: . . . The house began to shake violently! Huge oak trees were being uprooted by the tornado, causing a vibration on the floor that felt like an earthquake! Jerry was bouncing up off the floor. He heard glass breaking, timbers cracking and bricks falling. The noise was deafening. . . Jerry began calling, "Jesus!" . . .

To many, it was a backward-looking society of racist authoritarianism and violence that was sorely out of step with modern liberal America. White Mississippians, however, had a different vision of themselves and their country, one so persuasive that by 1980 they had become important players in Ronald Reagan's newly ascendant Republican Party. In this ambitious reassessment of racial politics in the deep South, Joseph Crespino reveals how Mississippi leaders strategically accommodated themselves to the demands of civil-rights activists and the federal government seeking to end Jim Crow, and in s...
A Time to Speak
For more than fifty years, Jack Reed, Sr. (1924–2016) was a voice of reason in Mississippi—speaking from his platform as a prominent businessman and taking leadership roles in education, race relations, economic and community development, and even church governance. Hardly one to follow the status quo, Reed always delivered his speeches with a large dose of good cheer. His audiences, though, did not always reciprocate, especially in his early years when he spoke out on behalf of public education and racial equality. His willingness to participate in civic affairs and his oratorical skills led him to leadership roles at state, regional, and national levels—including the presidency of th...
