Summary
Just as Mississippi whites in the 1950s and 1960s had fought to maintain school segregation, they battled in the 1970s to control the school curriculum. In 1974, when Pantheon Books published 'Mississippi: Conflict and Change', the defenders of traditional interpretation struck back at the innovative textbook. Charles W. Eagles explores the story of the controversial ninth-grade history textbook and the court case that allowed its adoption with state funds.
