The truck is parked by the side of a road, and other people are standing nearby. One person is holding a flag that reads, "Mississippi March 1966 for Federal Registrars / Aid to Farmers / Jobs." 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 |
