In this June 26, 1966 file photo, James Meredith, lower left, whose Mississippi March began in Memphis, Tenn., on June 5 and was interrupted when he was shot the following day, addresses a mass rally of civil rights demonstrators from the Mississippi State Capitol grounds in Jackson, Miss. The March Against Fear in the summer of 1966 helped many find a voice to protest the injustices of the day, setting an example for contemporary movements such as Black Lives Matter, five decades later.
