Depends on how you interpret it.
The song is basically about the great social and political upheaval of the '50s and '60s. I think the outcome of the Civil Rights Era is a good thing (we all do), and am happy that an Ole Miss alumnus is associated so positively with those changes.

Also, Bob Dylan's "Oxfordtown" is about Ole Miss.
