Hardback. Zustand: Good. The editor and publisher of the Delta Democrat-Times liked a good fight. Using his little daily paper to battle for equality before the law and an end to mistreatment of black people, Hodding Carter took on the power structure of the state of Mississippi. Castigated by politicians, denounced by his fellow editors, threatened with economic reprisal and physical violence, he drew the wrath of everyone from the country club to the crossroads store. White Citizens Councils anathematized him. The Ku Klux Klan sent him threatening messages. What kind of a man was this who stuck to his guns - for a time he even kept a gun close by - for what he believed, in the face of anger and vitriol, detestation and denunciation? In Hodding Carter, Ann Waldron tells the story of a colorful, complex, combative man who spent much of his life on the unpopular sides of political and social issues. As a youth sent off to college in Maine, he was an outspoken white supremacist; he began changing his mind only when he came back home to the South to live. Nor was his battle for racial justice in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s his first fight against heavy odds: in the early 1930s, as editor of a tiny newspaper in Hammond, Louisiana, he fought the Louisiana Kingfish, Huey Long, and his powerful machine. Nor did Carter confine his writing to newspaper journalism. He wrote books, magazine articles, history, novels, poetry. Married to a woman who was equally courageous and who stood loyally and firmly with him in his outspoken, unpopular stands, he was passionate, creative, greatly complicated. His friends cherished him, his opponents abhorred him. No uncritical eulogy, Hodding Carter re-creates the passionate life, public and private, of a flawed but authentic American hero.…

Hardcover. First edition. First printing [stated]. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. xiii, [1], 369 p. Illustrations. Books by Hodding Carter, Jr. Notes. Index. From Wikipedia: "William Hodding Carter II (February 3, 1907 April 4, 1972) was a prominent Southern U.S. progressive journalist and author. Carter died in Greenville, Mississippi, of a heart attack at the age of sixty-five. He is interred in the Greenville Cemetery. According to Ann Waldron, the young Carter was an outspoken white supremacist, like most Southerners of that time, yet he began to alter his thinking when he returned to the South to live. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1946 for his editorials, in particular a series lambasting the ill treatment of Japanese American (Nisei) soldiers returning from World War II. He also wrote editorials in the Greenville Delta Democrat-Times regarding social and economic intolerance in the Deep South that won him widespread acclaim and the moniker "Spokesman of the New South". Carter rushed into World War II service. While stationed at Camp Blanding in Florida, he lost the sight in his right eye during a training exercise. He thereafter served in the Intelligence Division and continued his journalistic activities by editing the Middle East division of Yank and Stars and Stripes in Cairo, Egypt, and writing three books. Carter was an unabashed supporter of the Kennedys and their quest for the American presidency. He had dinner with Bobby Kennedy and his family the night before he was assassinated. Carter had also been working for him "campaigning, making talks, and writing ghost speeches". In Hodding Carter: The Reconstruction of a Racist, author Ann Waldron makes the case that although Carter crusaded for racial equality, he hedged on condemning segregation, and that after Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, he attacked the intransigent White Citizens' Council, but only supported gradual integration." Good in very good dust jacket. Highlighting/underlining. Signed by author.
