First edition of this "compelling book . . . . Meredith reminds us how far we’ve come, and urges us to go further" (Publishers Weekly). Octavo, original half cloth. Boldly signed by James Meredith on the front free endpaper. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Thomas Ng.
James Meredith engineered two of the most epic events of the American civil rights 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.
