Its been just over a year since Sheriff James Earl was gunned down by what turned our to be three Klu Klux Klan men. James' only and younger brother Joe, who was always known as a carefree fellow loved women, whiskey, cards, and especially cars. He shocked everyone in the county when he and an old black man Ben Davis, survived an attack by the same Klansmen who murdered his brother. The Klansmen had raided the Earl home place in an attempt to murder Ben Davis. Joe and Ben heard the confession from the Klansmen and ended up killing the three hooded invaders. Joe is looking more like a typical Earl rather than a carefree playboy. His life had now become almost too good to be true. He owns two new automobile dealerships that are thriving and he has not had a date or played cards in six months. He now has his mind on two beautiful women, both very different. An old enemy resurfaces plus a new nemesis. Has he changed and matured enough to survive?

Turning the Tide is an institutional and cultural history of a dramatic decade of change at the University of Alabama set against the backdrop of desegregation, the continuing civil rights struggle, and the growing antiwar movement. This book documents the period when a handful of University of Alabama student activists formed an alliance with President Frank A. Rose, his staff, and a small group of progressive-minded professors in order to transform the university during a time of social and political turmoil. Together they engaged in a struggle against Governor George Wallace and a state legislature that reflected the worst aspects of racism in a state where the passage of civil rights legislation in 1964 and 1965 did little to reduce segregation and much to inflame the fears and passions of many white Alabamians. Earl H. Tilford details the origins of the student movement from within the Student Government Association, whose leaders included Ralph Knowles and future governor Don Siegelman, among others; the participation of key members of “The Machine,” the political faction made up of the powerful fraternities and sororities on campus; and the efforts of more radical non-Greek students like Jack Drake, Ed Still, and Sondra Nesmith. Tilford also details the political maneuverings that drove the cause of social change through multiple administrations at the university. Turning the Tide highlights the contributions of university presidents Frank A. Rose and David Mathews, as well as administrators like the dean of men John L. Blackburn, who supported the student leaders but also encouraged them to work within the system rather than against it. Based on archival research, interviews with many of the principal participants, and the author’s personal experiences, Tilford’s Turning the Tide is a compelling portrait of a university in transition during the turbulence surrounding the civil rights and anti-war movements of the 1960s.
