Abstract
In 1944 Senator Theodore Bilbo called for a teacher of speech at Delta State Teacher's College to be fired for advocating racial equality. In response, the Southern Association of Teachers of Speech sent a letter to the president and regents of the college, rebuking Bilbo. By avoiding the issue of race equality and focusing on issues of academic freedom and free speech, the association's letter displays not only the power of indirection and restraint as rhetorical strategies but also demonstrates a core political identity for academic associations.
