Summary:American civil rights campaigners march into Jackson, Mississippi, led by James Meredith - the man whose admission to the university four years earlier had led to riots and the call-out of federal troops. Meredith began the march alone and was shot and wounded on the second day; but was able to rejoin the final stages.
