BIG BEN: THE GENTLE REBEL BRANDON ROOK, UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI MASTER OF ARTS IN JOURNALISM MAY 2014 Copyright Brandon C. Rook 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT With the University of Mississippi having a deep and somewhat negative history with racial tension, the sole purpose of this study was to figure out if Ben Williams, the first African American varsity football player experienced any issues with racism while he attended school. Over the years Williams has stated that no issues have come about because of his race. After interviewing Ben Williams and over 10 others for the thesis project documentary entitled “The Ole Miss Black Athlete”, it can be predicted that Williams didn’t receive any racial tension on the campus of Ole Miss from the media or student body, faculty and staff. Although racial tensions were present at the time between Whites and Blacks, Williams never had issues because of his personality and athletic ability. ii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to Robert “Gentle Ben” Williams, the founders of the Ole Miss Black Student Union and all other minorities that had to deal with racial tension during their time at the University of Mississippi.

This thesis examines the relationship between the physical structure of the University of Mississippi campus and African American students, and investigates the creation of “counter-publics.” This thesis analyzes works in critical race theory, higher education, and social geography to argue that the “whiteness” of the University of Mississippi campus creates social and educational barriers for African American students.
