Protesting to Get Their Due: Meredith C. Anding, Jr. (1941–2021) and the ‘Tougaloo Nine’
Mississippi civil-rights hero Meredith C. Anding, Jr. exuded preternatural calm on the surface, but showed a fierce, almost primal determination to get what was his due: freedom and the respect that came with it. For this, Anding, who died on Jan. 8, 2021, at age 79, will be remembered down through the ages.
