Actually Southern Miss tried first but had a student denied and arrested on a false charge.
Link? I'd like to read about this.

Ole Miss was the first to integrate because it was the top college in the state in the time
True
quote:
Merideth had the full backing of the NAACP (Due to his involvement in it) and also was able to get the federal government and Pres. Kennedy involved.
Which was exactly the point. Merideth knew that the only way he would get Ole Miss to integrate was to get the feds involvement in the issue. It was astute and I applaud his bravery in that regard.

I have just stated what I know from what I learned in Mississippi History and the Civil Rights class I took in college.
Let me guess......at MSU?
And did your civil rights class mention that everyone in the south was racist as frick back in the 60's? Including MSU?

After Merideth left OM there wasn't another AA student to enroll at OM until 1965, the same year State and USM integrated as well as Mississippi High Schools (on a small scale basis)

But with MSU being so "un-racist" in the 60's like Al's alluding to, why didn't they integrate? Surely some AA's didn't want to go to Alcorn.

Babe McCarthy said that he would have loved to have been able to recruit black athletes just like Bear Bryant.
That doesn't mean that the students, faculty, and alumni agreed with him as well. It wasn't just "politics" that kept segregation alive. It was a longstanding social institution supported by politicians and common folk alike.

So why didn't MSU integrate before Ole Miss?

Were there a lot of Racist people? YES
I think its crazy for you to say EVERYBODY was. My Gradmother lived during this time period and said that you were either an outspoken supporter of segregation or a low spoken supporter of segregation. If a white person in Mississippi tried to speak up for any black person or Civil Rights they would jeopordize their and their family's reputation. Its just how things were.
Im glad things have changed.

If we were scaring minorities off, and State was so welcoming of them, you'd think it a no-brainer to recruit and admit them just to spite us.

Because the fedreal gov't didn't get involed with any student who tried to attend State b/c the same classes and majors were offered at Alcorn.
Ole Miss was the only Law School in the State. Thus the NAACP had a justifiable reason to get the fedreal govt to get involved as a result of Brown v. Board

So you admit that at most it is a push? As you say after Meredith, we started integrating at the same time? So according to your logic state is just as racist

So, Rebs are arguing that Miss St is nationally perceived to be as racist as OM?
Because, I swear we were talking about perception and how things are viewed on a national scale in the eyes of coaches.

Cool.......now why do you hold Ole Miss and MSU to different perceptions from that era?
It's like you're trying to say all of the racists in Mississippi went to Ole Miss and everyone at MSU stood out front giving olive branches to minorities.
You can be a blind homer all you want(which we all know that you are), but you're being mental if you think MSU wasn't equally as racist as Ole Miss back then.
and you still can't answer the question of why MSU didn't integrate before Ole Miss.

How many of you asshats witnessed what went on in the 60s?

No we are trying to correct common misperceptions perpetuated by misinformed posters.
