This Week In '66

 

With Lynn Peril

It’s Wednesday, and that means a new episode of This Week in ‘66! On June 26, 1966, James Meredith led 16,000 people to the Mississippi state capitol at Jackson for a massive rally. The March Against Fear had covered 261 miles, and registered 4000 new voters along the way. Also in the news, a murder led the British government to crack down on pirate radio stations in the Thames estuary, and the jury in a Pasadena, California, obscenity trial was literally a captive audience as six “dirty” books were read aloud in court.
