Meredith Assured Of Being First Of Negro Graduates
Meredith, a Kosciusko Negro, appears set to become the first Black graduate of the University of Mississippi, despite Gov. Ross Barnett's last minute efforts to delay. The State College Board voted to take no action on delaying Meredith's graduation, as Barnett cites alleged inflammatory remarks and a directive against such statements. The political fight mirrors a broader campaign around Meredith's enrollment under federal court orders, with reactions from Gov. Paul Johnson and campaign rivals.
