From Wikipedia: "William Hodding Carter II (February 3, 1907 April 4, 1972) was a prominent Southern U.S. progressive journalist and author. Carter died in Greenville, Mississippi, of a heart attack at the age of sixty-five. He is interred in the Greenville Cemetery. According to Ann Waldron, the young Carter was an outspoken white supremacist, like most Southerners of that time, yet he began to alter his thinking when he returned to the South to live. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1946 for his editorials, in particular a series lambasting the ill treatment of Japanese American (Nisei) soldiers returning from World War II. He also wrote editorials in the Greenville Delta Democrat-Times regarding social and economic intolerance in the Deep South that won him widespread acclaim and the moniker "Spokesman of the New South". Carter rushed into World War II service. While stationed at Camp Blanding in Florida, he lost the sight in his right eye during a training exercise. He thereafter served in the Intelligence Division and continued his journalistic activities by editing the Middle East division of Yank and Stars and Stripes in Cairo, Egypt, and writing three books. Carter was an unabashed supporter of the Kennedys and their quest for the American presidency. He had dinner with Bobby Kennedy and his family the night before he was assassinated. Carter had also been working for him "campaigning, making talks, and writing ghost speeches". In Hodding Carter: The Reconstruction of a Racist, author Ann Waldron makes the case that although Carter crusaded for racial equality, he hedged on condemning segregation, and that after Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, he attacked the intransigent White Citizens' Council, but only supported gradual integration." Good in very good dust jacket. Highlighting/underlining. Signed by author.
