Sixty years ago, ordinary people like James Meredith of Mississippi took extraordinary risks to confront fear, demand voting rights, and advance the struggle for justice.
Join the National Civil Rights Museum for a special conversation marking the 60th anniversary of the March Against Fear, the historic 1966 one-man campaign that morphed into a solidarity march of thousands and catapulted the Black Power movement for political participation and social change.
Moderated by Dr. Aram Goudsouzian, of Down to the Crossroads, this special panel discussion features veteran SNCC organizer Charles McLaurin and NAACP organizer Flonzie Brown Wright as they share personal experiences from the front lines of organizing in Mississippi and explore enduring lessons in courage, democracy, and collective action.
History feels different when you hear it from those who helped make it.
