The Father of White Supremacy

The Father of White Supremacy is the story of James Meredith's great grandfather, Chief Justice J.A.P. Campbell, who served 18 years on the Mississippi Supreme Court - 1876 to 1894. He wrote the Mississippi Code of Law which established legal and official White Supremacy. Chief Justice Campbell had both a white and black family, and spent most of the last 27 years of his life with his Black family teaching them how to break the system of White Supremacy.
