Walker Admits Public Appeals in Ole Miss Riot Case
Edwin A. Walker testified that he made several appeals for public support before appearing on the University of Mississippi campus during the integration riot. He contends in a $2 million libel suit against The Associated Press that AP reports falsely labeled him as leading a student charge against U S marshals. Walker described remarks like Bring your flag your tent and skillet, and said he visited Mississippi after federal orders barred interference with James Meredith’s admission.
