EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the Ole Miss Riot of 1962. In the midst of the civil rights movement, white students at the University of Mississippi erupted into violence over the enrollment of James Meredith, an African-American student. The image, taken by Marion Trikosko on September 30th, shows a chaotic scene outside the campus in Oxford, Mississippi. The photograph reveals a chilling contrast between darkness and light as nightfall blankets the area. A large crowd gathers around a car that has been set ablaze, its flames illuminating faces filled with anger and defiance. Soldiers from the US Army stand guard nearby, their presence highlighting both tension and attempts to maintain order. This snapshot encapsulates not only racial segregation but also resistance to progress towards equality during this tumultuous era. It serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted racism was within American society at that time. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical image without commercial intent or affiliation with any company. Instead, it seeks to preserve and share important moments like these for educational purposes. This photograph is part of The Granger Collection's extensive archive documenting significant events throughout American history.
