- Summary:
- Percy Dale East was the editor and publisher of The Petal Paper, Petal, Mississippi. "A former editor of two union papers in Hattiesburg, MS, East founded his newspaper in 1953. Violent local reaction to the 1954 Supreme Court desegregation decision caused East to devote his paper and the rest of his life to the belief that African Americans must receive fair treatment and legal equality"--Vassar College educational records website, 14th November, 2013. This is the story of one man's continuing fight for this cause, backed by his religious conviction.
