James Meredith on Race and Sports

Genma Holmes continues her monthlong series on Strong Inside with an historic interview with James Meredith on Oct. 25 at 9 a.m. CT. Meredith talks to Genma about his experience desegregating the University of Mississippi, addresses the fact that athletic programs at Ole Miss and Miss State were in some ways the last bastions of segregation in the state, and comments on the courage it took for Perry Wallace to combat these forces alone on the basketball court. A timely interview with both Ole Miss and Miss State in the national spotlight for the success of their football teams this year.
