ESPN Films: Ghosts of Ole Miss

This film is personal to me because my brother was in the 101st Airborne and was called to Ole Miss during the riot. President Kennedy needed to intervene and this was a turning point in American history, and the ghosts are still lingering in Oxford. I love the film, in that it was created by a Mississippi writer, who tells the story from his perspective, and the integration of the football season makes it extraordinary.

Great story. Forrest Gump wasn’t at the only school where a coon was trying to get in.

Well told story of the integration of Ole Miss in 1962. Found my deceased father in the stands of the Ole Miss football game. So glad he visited me! We've come a long way since those terrible times. Ole Miss football probably can be credited for saving this wonderful University. Can't wait to go to The Grove for football this year. Hotty Toddy!!!

Actually saw this video on television and bought it for my husband who grew up in Mississippi. One of the people featured in the video is someone he knows from his hometown, West Point. The video arrived on time and is now a member of our collection.

I saw this on ESPN and liked it so much that I wanted to own a copy in order to show my History classes.

This is one of the most interesting things regarding a mixture of sports, politics, and social changes at Ole Miss . It is presented from a different perspective than something you might see on the 10 PM news regarding history in the making .

Good, not great. A little thin but very revealing. It's a good doc.

Factual. Students were bored
