Civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr., Stokely Carmichael, and Floyd McKissick march in the front rank of blacks and whites who took up the Memphis-to-Jackson, Miss., march, which was begun by James Meredith three days ago. They are crossing the U.S. 51 bridge over the Coldwater River in northern Mississippi, June 8, 1966. Meredith is still talking about his divine mission. In the weeks leading up to his 90th birthday on Sunday, Meredith made several appearances around his home state, urging people to obey the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule to reduce crime, and saying that older generations should lead the way.
