University of Mississippi slammed for firing anti-racist professor

Jackson, December 18 (RHC)-- Hundreds of U.S. professors have signed an open letter criticizing the University of Mississippi for firing historian and anti-racist scholar Garrett Felber after he spoke out against the school’s relationship with what he described as “racist donors.” 

In October, the university refused to allow Felber to receive a grant for a prison education program called “Study and Struggle.”  Felber then criticized the University of Mississippi’s relationship with powerful donors, saying: “This anti-racist program threatens racist donor money.  And racism is the brand.  It’s in the name.” 

Garrett Felber is the author of the new book, “Those Who Know Don’t Say: The Nation of Islam, the Black Freedom Movement, and the Carceral State.”
