The situation might have pleased a dauntless crusader, but Mary-Larkin had been looking forward all summer to such junior high pleasures as cheerleading and dances.

( Using his little daily paper to battle for equality bef...)
Using his little daily paper to battle for equality before the law and an end to the mistreatment of black people, Hodding Carter took on the power structure of the state of Mississippi. Castigated by politicians, denounced by his fellow editors, threatened with economic reprisal and physical violence, he drew the wrath of everyone from the country club to the crossroads store. What kind of man was this who stuck to his guns for what he believed, in the face of anger and vitriol, destestation and denuciation? Ann Waldron tells the story of a colorful, complex, combative man who in his college years was an outspoken white supremacist, but later changed his mind, spending the bulk of his life advocating for racial justice and finding himself on the unpopular sides of many political and social issues. No uncritical eulogy, this book re-creates the passionate life, public and private, of a flawed but authentic American hero.

Hodding Carter: The Reconstruction of a Racist, which documented the life and transformation of a newspaperman in Greenville, Mississippi, was recognized by The New York Times as a 1993 Notable Book of the Year, which noted how the book "outlines in rich and intriguing detail the price paid by the editor for questioning the tradition of white supremacy".
A later book was a biography of Eudora Welty, who refused to co-operate on the writing of the book The 1998 book Eudora: A Writer"s Life was reviewed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which called Welty "lucky that Ann Waldron is her first biographer" and praised Welson for writing "a judicious account, written against the odds".
At age 78, she turned to writing a series of murder mysteries about a newspaperwoman who investigates crimes at Princeton University.
Waldron died at age 85 on July 2, 2010, at her home in Princeton, New Jersey due to heart failure.
