description	Several people are holding American Flags, and one man has a sign that reads, '"Lowndes County Alabama / 'Black Power' / Mississippi Freedom! We Are Here. Lowndes County Freedom Organization / Panther Country / We are with you All the Way!!" He is wearing a pin that says, "Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee / We Shall Overcome"; a man behind him is wearing a pin that reads, "Meredith Mississippi March for Freedom / June 1966." Another person in the crowd is holding a folded sign that appears to say, "Freedom Now." The march began on June 5 in Memphis, Tennessee, and ended on June 26 in Jackson, Mississippi. Meredith was injured by gunshots shortly after setting out, and he was not able to rejoin the march until June 25. The event was covered in the issues of The Southern Courier for June 11-12, June 18-19, June 25-26, and July 2-3, 1966, which are available online (not on the ADAH website): http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol2_No24_1966_06_11.pdf and http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol2_No25_1966_06_18.pdf and http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol2_No26_1966_06_25.pdf and http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol2_No27_1966_07_02.pdf
