Effigies Burned as Ole Miss Tensions Rise
On the University of Mississippi campus in Oxford, 35 students burned an effigy of James Meredith and set off fireworks near his apartment, prompting swift federal troop intervention. A dummy with a Go back to Africa sign appeared in a building near Meredith’s residence. No arrests were reported as Chancellor Williams urged students to return to classes under guard. The 5th Circuit granted Gov. Barnett a probation period on contempt charges, while Army forces reduced their presence, redeploying units to nearby areas as normalcy returned.
