Segregationists understood the importance of public opinion to defending their social system, and, as a result, desperately fought to influence how the civil rights movement and segregation were defined for the nation. However, when certain national news coverage and the voices of a minority of southern journalists challenged the growing massive resistance extremism and the arguments used to preserve the "southern way of life," segregationists responded with organized attempts to silence criticism, dissent and public debate within the press.Law and society (New York, N.Y.)Civil rights movementsPress coverageUnited StatesHistory20th centuryAfrican AmericansPress coverageHistory20th centuryAfrican AmericansCivil rightsHistory20th centurySegregationSouthern StatesHistory20th centuryUnited StatesRace relationsPress coverageHistory20th centurySouthern StatesRace relationsHistory20th centuryCivil rights movementsPress coverageHistoryAfrican AmericansPress coverageHistoryAfrican AmericansCivil rightsHistorySegregationHistory323.1196/0730750904Wallace David J.1981-1718140MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812549603321Massive resistance and media suppression4114882UNINA
