The Price of Defiance: James Meredith and the Integration of Ole Miss

The Price of Defiance: James Meredith and the Integration of Ole Miss When James Meredith enrolled as the first African American student at the University of Mississippi in 1962, the resulting riots produced more casualties than any other clash of the civil rights era. Eagles shows that the violence resulted from the universitys and the states long defiance of the civil rights movement and federal law. Eagles also paints a remarkable portrait of Meredith himself.
