Today in Labor History September 10, 1962: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Civil Rights Leader, James Meredith, could be admitted to the University of Mississippi. White rioters burned cars, pelted federal agents and soldiers with rocks, bricks and shot at them. 31,000 soldiers were sent to quell the violence, the largest ever use of the Insurrection Act of 1807. Two people died. Meredith was harassed throughout his time at the university. He went on to organize the March against Fear from Memphis to Jackson. He also was active in the Voting Rights movement. He went on to become an adviser to the right-wing, segregationist Senator Jesse Helms.

It’s been the sight of many a massacre, so it would make sense to preserve it for future generations to learn from our mistakes

Nothing says “7.6 wins” better than a coach who looks like a dad who’s seven cocktails in at a wedding reception and about to do the Macarena before having a loud argument with his wife about whether or not his toast was in poor taste.

Not a woke soul in sight. #OleMiss
