Surprisingly, challenges from Mississippi's college basketball courts brought into question the validity of the Closed Society and its unwritten law, a gentleman's agreement that prevented college teams in the Magnolia State from playing against integrated foes. Mississippi State University was at the forefront of this battle for equality in the state with the school's successful college basketball program. Full Court Press examines news articles, editorials, and columns published in Mississippi's newspapers during the eight-year existence of the gentleman's agreement, the challenges posed by Mississippi State University, and the subsequent integration of college basketball within the state. Full Court Press highlights an ideological metamorphosis within the press during the Civil Rights Movement, slowly transforming from an organ that minimized the rights of blacks to an industry that considered the plight of black Mississippians on equal footing with their white brethren"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Sometimes, even college administrators act like freshmen -- We'll stay at home and tell everybody we're the best -- The less said, the better -- Is there anything wrong with five white boys winning the national championship? -- This is the biggest challenge to our way of life since the reconstruction -- I've made my last trip to places like Mississippi. 610 20 $a Mississippi State University $x History. $x History. 610 20 $a Mississippi State Bulldogs (Basketball team) $x History. 650 0 $a Mass media and sports $z MIssissippi $x History. 650 0 $a Racism in sports $z Mississippi. 650 0 $a Discrimination in sports $z Mississippi. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination & Race Relations. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SPORTS & RECREATION / Basketball. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / African American Studies. $2 bisacsh 610 27 $a Mississippi State Bulldogs (Basketball team) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01927459 610 27 $a Mississippi State University. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00534481 650 7 $a Basketball. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00828203 650 7 $a Discrimination in sports. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895130 650 7 $a Mass media and sports. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011368 650 7 $a Racism in sports. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086664 651 7 $a Mississippi. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207034 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Peterson, Jason A., author. $t Full court press $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2016 $z 9781496808219 $w (DLC) 2016042746 830 0 $a Race, rhetoric, and media series. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214022100.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20180821010327.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20171129010401.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F8EA53A6D4D211E7967FB26A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
