Preferred term

Meredith v. Fair  

Definition

  • Meredith v. Fair (1962) was one in a series of lawsuits that sought to desegregate the South's formerly all-White or all-Black universities. While this case and the appellate ruling ordering desegregation of the University of Mississippi were relatively straightforward, the arrival of James Meredith on the Ole Miss campus triggered rioting in which two people were killed.
