CHICAGO. ILL A shooting in
cident at his parents’ home cut
short James Meredith's planned
Christmas holiday The Meredith
home was pierced by three shotgun
blasts recently He had planned to
spend the Christmas holiday at the
home of comedian Dick Gregory.
When asked whether this inci
dent will cause him to leave the
University of Mississippi. Meredith
told newmen that he does not in
tend to leave "until it becomes ab
solutely essential. I have no more
intention to leave now than I had
two years before I got in.” he said
Meredith said that embarrass
ment of Negroes and the trouble
over his enrollment at the univer
sity were parts of the same prob
lem of racial discrimination and
that la what he is trying to correct
The enrollment of the only Ne
gor ever to enroll at the University
of Mississippi, backed by federal
marshalls and soldiers over the op
position of the Mississippi State
government, focused attention on
the unequal treatment of Negroes,
especially in the South.
"It is not my problem. It is Ame
rica's problem," said Meredith.
