Doyle Speaks at the Overby Center


Author William Doyle spoke on Tuesday morning at the Overby Center on the University of Mississippi campus about the integration crisis that took place on the campus in 1962.

His lecture was based on his book, An American Insurrection, about the Battle of Oxford, Mississippi.

There were several students and members of the faculty present to hear about such an astounding event in Mississippi’s history, which took place on their very campus.

He mentioned how he used the people who were present that day and directly related to the event as his sources.

Doyle conveyed how passionate he is about history and the role government played in the events.

He was open to questions and other inquiries about his lecture.
