| 520 | |a "In 1964, New Orleans native Marion L. "Lou" Major had been at the Bogalusa Daily News for thirteen years, and at the publisher's desk only a year, when he found himself at age thirty-four guiding the newspaper through a difficult period in the history of American civil rights. Bogalusa became a flashpoint for clashes between African Americans campaigning for equal treatment and white residents who resisted this change, a conflict that generated an upsurge in activities by the Ku Klux Klan in the area. Members of the KKK engaged in campaigns of terror and intimidation directed against residents and institutions they perceived as sympathetic to the civil rights efforts of Black Americans. During this time, the Daily News took a public stand against the Klan and their platform of hatred and white supremacy. "Against the Klan," Major's memoir of those years, recounts his experiences as a young newspaper publisher striving to balance the good of the community, the health of the newspaper, and the safety and fortunes of his family. He provides a detailed account of the Daily News's position amid the city's civil rights movement and his battle with the Klan, including the many fiery editorials he authored condemning their actions and urging peaceful relations in Bogalusa. He also reflects on how some of his publishing decisions and actions might have differed had he benefited from additional years of professional experience. Major's richly detailed, personal account offers a ground-level view of the challenges local journalists faced in covering the civil rights movement in the Deep South and of the role played by the press in challenging the nefarious activities of hate groups such as the Klan"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
