In September of 1962, the president of the United States sent U.S. Marshals to Oxford, Mississippi, to quell civilian unrest. The occasion? The integration of the University of Mississippi. A black man intended to enroll. And the state governor was using state troopers to prevent it. My father, Robert C. Nelson, a correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, covered the integration of Ole Miss.
