James Meredith

October 24, 2014

FILE – In a Oct. 2, 1962 file photo, James Meredith, center with briefcase, is escorted to the University of Mississippi campus in Oxford. Escorting Meredith is Chief U.S. Marshal James McShane, left, and an unidentified marshal at right. Meredith, the first black student to attend the University of Mississippi after integration, says he doesn’t plan to participate in the university’s commemoration of his history-making enrollment 50 years ago, which prompted a state-federal standoff, sparked deadly mob violence and ultimately ended the university’s official policy of racial segregation.
