Harry Ashmore was born in Greenville, South Carolina. He was the executive editor of the Arkansas Gazette during the 1957 desegregation crisis at Little Rock Central High School and wrote a series of Pulitzer Prize–winning editorials on the subject. His front-page calls for reason thrust him into the front lines of the escalating battle between civil rights and states’ rights.
