| Abstract | Acknowledgments -- Preface -- Introduction -- Timeline -- The Law of The Land -- James Meredith Makes A Stand -- The U.S. Border Patrol Becomes Involved -- Mustering Up -- Heading to The Field -- The Lyceum -- Saving Deputy Marshal Same & The Injured -- The Military Arrives -- The Morning After -- Aftermath/Critiques -- Epilogue -- About the Author -- Photography Credits -- Selected Bibliography -- Notes. The U.S. Border Patrol quietly figured as an instrument of change in the Civil Rights Movement during the 1960s by supporting the U.S. Marshals Service in protective details for key events, and protecting members of the African-American community in their struggle for desegregation, equal rights, and opportunity. During this period, upholding federal law frequently meant defying state and local governments, including confronting local and state police; and unruly, sometimes violent crowds and demonstrations. This is the story of one of the most significant challenges to the U.S. government and the Constitution in the last century and how Border Patrol Inspectors were the unsung heroes that long night sixty years ago when James Meredith enrolled in the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss). |
