As the Civil Rights Movement was unfolding across the U.S. in the 1960s, the entire nation had its eyes on climactic events taking place in Southern cities and towns. But there was a stark difference between how the national press covered those events and how they were covered by many Southern papers. The latter, too often, under-played or distorted the story, even when it occurred in their own hometowns. Roy Reed, who covered significant parts of the civil rights movement for the New York Times, will share his opinions about those Southern newspapers that did their duty and those that did not. Heroes and villains will be accorded the attention they deserve.
