(In 1968, after winning the campaign for election commissioner in Madison County, she became the first African American woman elected to public office in Mississippi.) 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.
