 James Meredith stopped by my office a few weeks ago and gave me his new book, “A Mission from God.”

When he visited me about 20 years ago, he seemed a bit kooky. It’s amazing how much he’s learned since then.

Reading his book has been a delight, both for the amazing story of racial conflict and for the insight into Meredith’s unique character.
