    Breaking Mississippi

    This is the explosive inside story of James Meredith’s battle to smash the system of white supremacy in the most racially segregated state in 1960s America.

    By becoming the first black person to apply to the all-white university of Mississippi – Meredith will draw in the KKK and JFK – and trigger the largest number of troops ever deployed for a single disturbance on US soil.

    Across 10 episodes and with US public radio journalist Jenn White as our guide – James Meredith takes us from his childhood in rural Mississippi where racism runs deep – to a pivotal flashpoint in US civil rights history that will be described as the last battle of the American Civil War.

    This could be our last opportunity to hear James Meredith tell this story in his own words and in a way that’s never been heard before.
