I wish Thompson had gone into more detail about the protestors. He seemed to have found some extremely detailed records, and I would be curious to know what percentage of the protestors/rioters were Ole Miss students and alumni.
I think it would be damn near impossible to find a paper trail of who took part in a riot. They don't have sign in sheets.
I do think he did a good job showing the South, and Mississippi specifically, and its complicated history with the past. There is a fine line between honoring heritage and propping up institutional racism. But I thought it was cool that it was James Meredith telling the story about Gettysburg.

Thompson is my favorite writer. I've met the guy a few times in Oxford and he is as cool as they come. Scotch neat (I assume since its brown with no ice) with a cigar and just chills on the porch at City Grocery.
He's the kind of old school Southern writer that Oxford is famous for.
