Answer:

James Meredith was an African American civil right activist who in 1962 decided to take the bull its horn by taking a bold step to exercise his constitutional and civil right to education by applying to the University of Mississippi at a time when segregation was the order of the day, and blacks where not allowed to attend the same school with the whites. He was inspired by the inaugural speech of President John F. Kennedy. He became the first African American to be admitted into the segregated University of Mississippi. The significance of his action lies in the facts that it gave a voice to other African Americans to exercise their constitutional rights, and it was also part of what triggered the movement that brought an end to segregation in America. His action was a flash point in the history of civil right movement in America.
