Deep South Dispatch
University Press of Mississippi (Verlag)
978-1-4968-2819-4 (ISBN)
This account is also a personal journey as Herbers witnessed the movement with the conflicted eyes of a man dedicated to his southern heritage but who also rejected the prescribed laws and mores of a prejudiced society. His story provides a complex understanding of how the southern status quo, in which the white establishment benefited at the expense of African Americans, was transformed by a national outcry for justice.
John N. Herbers (1923-2017) worked for more than a decade at United Press International and was a national reporter for the New York Times for twenty-five years covering civil rights, national politics, the White House, Congress, urban affairs, Watergate, and the administrations of six presidents. Author of four books, two on civil rights and No Thank You, Mr. President and The New Heartland, he received numerous awards, including the John Chancellor Award for Excellence in Journalism. Anne Farris Rosen is the daughter of John Herbers. An award-winning freelance journalist and adjunct professor at the University of Maryland's Philip Merrill College of Journalism, she has worked for the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Pew Research Center.
