Mississippi officially integrated its public schools in 1964, following the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited discrimination in education. However, significant resistance and violence marked this process, most notably with the enrollment of James Meredith at the University of Mississippi in 1962, which was a pivotal event in the state's desegregation efforts. Integration occurred gradually and was met with various challenges throughout the 1960s and beyond.
