Two people (were) killed and at least 75 injured in rioting at the University of Mississippi campus in Oxford.
Hundreds of extra troops (were) brought in to join Federal forces already stationed in the nearby town of Oxford as the violence spread to its streets.
The protesters (were) angry at the admission of James Meredith, a black American, to the university.
Rioting erupted (...) as President Kennedy addressed the nation in a televised broadcast urging a peaceful settlement to the dispute over racial segregation. http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/october/1/newsid_2538000/2538169.stm

Jack Greenberg 1924-2016
lawyer who became one of the nation’s most effective champions of the civil rights struggle, leading the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc. for 23 years and using the law as a weapon in its fight for racial justice before the United States Supreme Court
(...)
Mr. Greenberg was the last surviving member of a legendary civil rights legal team assembled by Thurgood Marshall, the founding director-counsel of the legal defense fund and later the first African-American Supreme Court justice.
When Mr. Marshall hired him as an assistant counsel in 1949, Mr. Greenberg was just 24 and the civil rights movement, too, was taking wing.
A son of Jewish immigrants and a product of New York City, he had developed an abiding intolerance of injustice — some of it witnessed in the Navy — that propelled him into law and into Mr. Marshall’s sights.
Mr. Greenberg joined a team that, like him, was idealistic yet pragmatic, deliberate yet unafraid.
Besides Mr. Marshall there were Robert L. Carter, Constance Baker Motley, Spottswood W. Robinson III and others.
Mr. Greenberg was neither the first white nor the first Jew to work for the civil rights of blacks.
But he was one of the most powerful white figures in the movement in the 1960s and ’70s, a distinction that led to friction with both blacks and Jews.
Still, Mr. Greenberg helped achieve through the courts what the political system had denied Southern blacks:
voting rights, equal pay for equal work, impartial juries, equal access to medical care, equal access to schools and other benefits of citizenship broadly enjoyed by whites. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/13/us/jack-greenberg-dead.html
