Walk Against Fear: James Meredith

In the mid-20th century, white supremacy ran rampant in America’s South, and nowhere was segregation more brutally enforced than in Mississippi. From this context emerged one man who risked his life to fight for his beliefs. This is the story of James Meredith, a largely forgotten hero who singlehandedly instigated some of the greatest victories of the Civil Rights Movement. Interviews with Meredith and his family, plus rarely seen or heard footage featuring MLK, JFK, Medgar Evers, and others tell the tale of this American original.
