Meredith Coleman McGee tells a revealing story about “James Meredith.” His parents and the elders in his family displayed the kind of values and beliefs which fostered leadership and independence. His father organized a group of local farmers and together they created a school for Negroes on the outskirts of Kosciusko, Mississippi in 1931. Meredith’s maternal grandparents and family members had been operating school for Negroes in Center, Attala County, Mississippi for over a quarter of a century. Meredith’s father, Cap, his maternal grandfather, William Patterson, and several of his uncles became registered voters in Attala County, Mississippi in the 1920s. Meredith was taught to strive for excellence. Meredith was a visionary who was independent enough to think for himself and sensible enough to take good advice.
The second edition of this biography explains a lot more about this great historic icon.
