Description

Civil rights legend James Meredith never fit in –this is a nuanced exploration of Meredith's complicated life as a public figure. Civil rights legend James Meredith never fit in – not as the first Black person to attend the University of Mississippi, not surrounded by fellow activists on the Meredith March, not working for ultraconservative Jesse Helms or stumping for ex-Klansman David Duke. Mississippi Messiah is a nuanced exploration of Meredith's complicated life as a public figure. (Clay Haskell & Dylan Nelson, USA, 2022, 77 min)
