Ole Miss to mark its integration in 20th anniversary
The Sept. 30, 1962 entry of James Meredith at Ole Miss stirred a federal takeover of National Guard troops and marshals to enforce admission amid riots, marking a fraught federal versus state clash. The 1982 observance recalls the uprising, its lingering social rifts, and campus life decades later. Meredith, later resistant to symbols, remains a complex figure in campus memory.
