James W. Silver and the Closed Society
Files
Description
This StoryMap traces how Silver's ideas moved across Mississippi and beyond, from the campus where they were born, to the North Carolina conference hall where they were finally spoken aloud, to the state capital where the system he criticized was enforced, and to the Black college where those same ideas had already taken root long before he put them into words.
