Ninth Annotation

James H. Meredith, et al. v. Charles Dickson Fair, President of the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning 1961 Case No. 3130. 26 Nov 2008.

I got this information from the Nation Archives "A class action suit on behalf of James Meredith and all other Negro students similarly situated to enjoin the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning from limiting admission to the University of Mississippi to white persons. This case resulted in the admission of the first African-American student, James Meredith, to the University of Mississippi.

This is a secondary source.I will use this information on how james meridth was reject ed from college because of the color of his skin,just how ruby bridges was rejected.
