Despite constitutional victories like the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, the Supreme Court retreated, letting old prejudices fester in lynchings and resistance. Southern politicians didn’t embrace change—they were forced by national outrage. The myth of a “post-racial” America, born after Obama’s election, masked deep-seated fears, now weaponized by movements exploiting racial anxiety. Yet Stevenson sees hope: confronting history, even through unexpected symbols like college football, can help places like Alabama move beyond fear and truly embrace diversity.
