Ghosts of Mississippi at Ole Miss provoke protests and backlash
Dozens of students at the University of Mississippi in Oxford protested Israel's war in Gaza while hundreds of counter-protesters clashed and chanted. Police dispersed the crowd as counter demonstrators taunted pro-Palestinian students. Phi Delta Theta said one counter-protester was removed after a video surfaced. NAACP condemned the incident as abhorrent and unacceptable. The piece links modern events to Mississippi's racist history and quotes scholar Elwood Watson.
