. The Making of a Militant Conservative—J. H. Meredith
This chapter focuses on James Meredith and his application to Ole Miss in 1961. Meredith was both a budding entrepreneur and an incipient activist. He was practical and idealistic. Meredith was a curious and sometimes perplexing blend of Washington's accommodationism and Du Bois's elitism and protest. He was a militant conservative. By the time he applied to Ole Miss in 1961, Meredith had all his life submitted to domination by whites; he had for as long as he could recall been a “conscientious objector” to his “oppressed status.”
