The University of Mississippi is paying tribute to James Meredith 60 years after integration
Wednesday at the university, Meredith told an audience:"In my opinion, this is the best day I ever lived. But there's some more truth. Celebration is good. I don't think there's anybody in this house or in the state of Mississippi that think the problem has been solved."
“There’s nothing in Mississippi that God, Jesus Christ and the Black woman cannot fix," Meredith said. A resident and a French journalist were killed in the violence as Meredith enrolled. More than 200 officers and soldiers were wounded and 200 people were arrested.
