INTRODUCTION In January 1970, a principal spoke to student assembly, newly desegregated, in the southern part of the state of Mississippi. “You people are in a history-making situation,” said B.J. Oswalt to the now unitary high school in Columbia. “It can happen only once and you are part of it. Now, what are you going to do?” It was a question the nation was asking, as Mississippi schools went through the most massive social change ever requested of any educational system in the United States. The response in Marion County was surprisingly constructive: the white student body president said, “If everybody can just treat everybody else as a human being, it might just turn out all right – be a big surprise to everybody.” And the black student body president flashed the peace symbol, a unifying gesture to both races, and predicted, “We can become a lighthouse in Marion County.” Three years later, it is apparent that Mississippi has not yet become that lighthouse and that it still contains potential for vicious racism.
