On June 25, 1966, civil rights activist James Meredith rejoined the March Against Fear, a 220-mile walk from Memphis, Tennessee, to Jackson, Mississippi, to encourage African American voter registration. Meredith had been shot and wounded earlier in the march but returned to lead the final leg. The march became a significant event in the Civil Rights Movement, promoting Black voter registration and unity among civil rights organizations. Wikipedia
