A Legal Mind

Today I drove to Forest, MS to interview 1970 University of Mississippi Law School graduate Constance Slaughter Harvey.  Constance was the first female African-American law student at Ole Miss and shared with me her experiences as a student and the passion she has to make real change in Mississippi which was the driving force behind her decision to attend the the University 45 years ago. She will be featured in our upcoming documentary on the legacy of 50 years of integration at Ole Miss. Check back soon for more details on this project as well as the companion documentary we’re producing on 1962 and the integration of the campus.
