Merits ruling upholds University of Mississippi admission ban
Federal Judge Sidney Mize ruled James Meredith failed to prove he was denied admission to the all white University of Mississippi because of race. He dismissed Meredith's request for court ordered admission and noted the burden of proof lay with the plaintiff to show a segregative policy. The judge said Meredith cannot maintain a class action as he did not sustain his own case and evidence did not show a race based denial.
