University of Mississippi art professor Stuart Purser met African American artist M.B. Mayfield when he came upon Mayfield's farmhouse by chance, finding it surrounded by painted flower pots and statues of Joe Louis and George Washington Carver. Ten years before the school was officially integrated (amid rioting), Purser hired Mayfield as a janitor at Ole Miss so he could secretly educate him. Magee, a former journalist, describes the school's racial policies along with details of the mentorship between Purser and Mayfield. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
