Contents Beast on the highway -- An American rebel -- A declaration of war -- The south rises again -- The last battle of the Civil War -- A new world -- To conquer fear -- Our great mission from God.
Summary James Meredith engineered two of the most epic events of the American civil right era: the desegregation of the University of Mississippi in 1962, which helped open the doors of education to all Americans; and the March Against Fear in 1966, which helped open the floodgates of voter registration in the South. Part memoir, part manifesto, A Mission from God is James Meredith's look back at his courageous and action-packed life and his challenge to America to address the most critical issue of our day; how to educate and uplift the millions of black and white Americans who remain locked in the chains of poverty by improving our public education system.
