Walk Against Fear: James Meredith

James Meredith was a civil rights hero unlike any other; he took on the University of Mississippi and the state's governor to desegregate the school; a fight that triggered the largest mobilization of federal troops on U.S. soil since the Civil War; he began a one-man Walk Against Fear to encourage Black Mississippians to register to vote, which became a national event after he was shot; despite his monumental achievements, few people know who he is.
