...Clinton, Tenn., where Governor Frank Clement dispatched National Guardsmen to quell shouting, stone-throwing rioters, Negroes by week's end were still in mixed classrooms, and the guardsmen were beginning to leave. In western Kentucky armed mobs roamed through the mining towns of Sturgis and Clay, yelling for "nigger blood." But the mob quickly subsided in the face of tank-borne National Guardsmen sent by Governor A. B. ("Happy") Chandler, who declared they would stay there "as long as necessary...
...Those Queer Nigger-Lovers." For years the people of Americus took little notice of "those crazy race mixers." But after the Supreme Court desegregation decision in 1954 there began to be ugly rumors: "Communist spies" were harbored there; "sex mixing" was practiced. When Clarence Jordan endorsed the applications of two Negroes for admission to Georgia State College of Business Administration, things began to happen. There were anonymous phone calls; the roadside signs were ripped down at night; retailers turned down Koinonia produce...
...Nigger Lovers." In two distant and different Southern small towns last week hell and high water almost came. In Clinton, Tenn. (pop. 4,000) white mobs rioted in the tree-shaded streets and the old courthouse square to stop the enrollment of twelve Negro students in the local high school.

Lucy remained on the University of Alabama campus last February 6, a mob would probably have murdered her. Angry shouts of "Where's the nigger?" "Get her!" "Kill her!" "Keep 'Bama White" were the answers which moderation received here. Less than one month after she registered, Miss Lucy was expelled from the University by the Board of Trustees. "Moderation" had failed, although in fact the incident was considerably more complex than it appeared on the surface...
...Community of the Resurrection who has become a symbol and rallying point of resistance to apartheid in South Africa, where he has been stationed for twelve years. In Africa, whence his superiors have recently recalled him to England, white supremacists viewed him with alarm as a kamrboetie (roughly, nigger-lover) and predicted he would not be allowed to visit the U.S. Southern states, let alone be permitted to speak there. But Father Huddleston was able to travel and to talk with representatives of both sides in the South...
