Meredith Armed Hike May Be Next for James Meredith
James Meredith pledges to return armed if necessary as civil rights marches resume near Memphis and New York. A three mile walk from a Memphis church to a hospital where Meredith was treated follows reports of mistreatment. Meredith, weakened from blood loss, plans rest before returning South, while leaders including King CORE and SNCC members vow to join a renewed silent march toward Bowid Hospital.
