JFK The Enduring Secret Jeff Crudele

Episode 221 is the fifth and final  episode of a mutli-part wander that  is the story of James Meredith and the Oxford Riots. Meredith was the first black man admitted to the University of Mississippi. Most  who are familiar with the history, recall  the tense moment of his admission, but few understand the extent of the violence which encompassed the event.  By the end of September 1962, Meredith's attempt at  registration had become  an ongoing affair. After his initial rejection , he filed a lawsuit in federal court claiming racial discrimination   and the suit prevailed  and it set the stage for a massive showdown as the beginning of the fall school semester came upon the university. The story had beginnings reminiscent of the Little Rock 7 entering Little Rock High School  and the intervention by the armed forces in that integration case. Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett would adopt the Doctrine of Interposition and assert that the state of Mississippi had the right to defy a federal court order and declare a federal law null and void.  He would  instruct all state employees and officers including law enforcement to resist the admittance of James Meredith to Ole Miss.  The situation would escalate and become the largest invocation of the Insurrection Act of 1806, Over 31,000 national guardsman,  federal marshals, other law enforcement officers and members of the military  would be activated for the event. The degree of domestic disturbance and  the related violence and extensive  involvement of the military would be taken to a new level.  A level not seen in prior civil rights disturbances,  and a level that would set the stage for intense retribution from the  radical right. This wander into the depth of violence and hate is done to demonstrate that which was present in the form of danger to all who opposed the civil rights movement and especially leaders such as John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and 
members of the civil rights movement including Martin Luther King.
 
Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

As a member of the jury,   conclude for  yourself as you look and  listen to two individual researchers  who may know more about this topic than anyone still living on the planet. William Matson Law is an esteemed author on the topic of Bethesda and the autopsy having written a number of books  that are staples in the research community and having developed and maintained relationships over the years with many of the key witnesses from that night. Rick Russo is of course, my new co-host on the Mysteries of the Enduring Secret You Tube series and his knowledge and energy for this topic is endless. And Rick, may have just figured out the true mystery of Bethesda, but lets listen to  what William Matson Law has to say about all of that and in the end, you be the jury!
