The Changing South of Gene Patterson

Journalism and Civil Rights, 1960-1968

University Press of Florida

The Changing South of Gene Patterson celebrates the work of one of America’s most influential journalists who wrote in a time and place of dramatic social and political upheaval. The editor of the Atlanta Constitution from 1960 through 1968, Patterson wrote directly to his fellow white southerners every day, working to persuade them to change their ways. His words were so inspirational that he was asked by Walter Cronkite to read his most famous column, about the Birmingham church bombing, live on the CBS Evening News.
