Walk the Talk: James Meredith

After becoming the first African American admitted into the once-segregated University of Mississippi, James Meredith dedicated his life to propagating civil rights and as such became one of the nation’s key figures in the movement for equality. Join Meredith and other activists in a discussion on promoting social change as part of the Walk the Talk conference, hosted by the Coeur d’Alene-based Human Rights Education Institute. The weekend conference kicks off Friday evening with a lively presentation on civil rights issues both past and present, a reading from Meredith’s memoir and a dynamic discussion with prominent civil rights figures.
