James Silver
James Silver (June 28, 1907 – July 25, 1988) was a historian, author of ''Mississippi: The Closed Society'', and professor at the University of Mississippi and later at the University of Notre Dame and the University of South Florida. When rioting erupted on the Ole Miss campus after James Meredith became the University of Mississippi's first African-American student and federal troops moved in to keep order, Silver befriended Meredith. In a speech to the Southern Historical Association in the Fall of 1963, he analyzed the violence with which Mississippi was resisting desegregation. Mississippi was, he said, "a closed society" -- "totalitarian," "monolithic," "corrupt." The speech received widespread media coverage, and he expanded his analysis in a book, ''Mississippi: The Closed Society'' (1964). His advocacy of racial change had subjected him to hostility in Mississippi and even an attempt by the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission to have him fired. That effort failed, but Silver took a job teaching at Notre Dame University in Indiana.〔Carol Polsgrove, ''Divided Minds: Intellectuals and the Civil Rights Movement'' (2001), pp. 211-219.〕 He taught at Notre Dame from 1965 until 1969. He left Notre Dame to teach history at the University of South Florida until he retired in 1982.〔James W. Silver, 81, a Professor Who Fought for Racial Equality, ''New York Times'' obituary, July 26, 1988 ()〕
