Publisher's summary

Marshall appointed Constance Motley to handle Meredith’s lawsuit against the Mississippi Board of Education. R. Jess Brown, an attorney from Jackson, Mississippi, served on Meredith’s legal team.

Meredith’s lawyers fought in court for 18 months before they won the right for him to be admitted to the University of Mississippi. Meredith walked across campus, registered, and attended class on October 1, 1962, thus breaking the Jim Crow law which prohibited Negroes from attending school with Caucasians in the state of Mississippi. History records James H. Meredith opening the doors for Mississippi Negroes to obtain advanced and specialized degrees. On August 18, 1963, he graduated from the University of Mississippi with a degree in history and political science.

This audiobook includes a homework assignment on citizenship and an a certificate signed by the author Hazel Janell Meredith and her famous brother, James H. Meredith.
