  abstract: On June 5, 1966, the civil rights hero James Meredith left Memphis, Tennessee, on foot. Setting off toward Jackson, Mississippi, he hoped his march would promote Black voter registration and defy racism. The next day, he was shot by a mysterious white man and transferred to a hospital. What followed was one of the key dramas of the civil rights era. Tracking rural demonstrators' courage and impassioned debates among movement leaders, the author reveals the complex legacy of an event that would both integrate African Americans into the political system and inspire an era of bolder protests against it.
