ABSTRACT
The fiftieth anniversary of Brown v.Board ofEducation ofTopeka, Kansas, provides an opportunity for educators and policymakers to examine educational reform through a critical lens. Paul Hendrickson's Sons of Mississippi, which was written on the eve of another anniversary-the fortieth anniversary of the integration of Ole Miss by James Meredith-offers the reader the singular opportunity to examine racial hatred, tolerance, and moral ambivalence through the eyes of photographer Charles Moore, the seven lawmen he photographed, and their children. It is a story of orchestrated deception and duplicity.
