| Video Discription | Since the late 1700's, the church has historically been a source of inspiration for generations of African-Americans in DeSoto County, Mississippi. The church opened many doors and one of those doors was education. Hence, the creation of the Baptist Industrial College in Hernando, Mississippi. The Civil Rights movement didn't start in DeSoto County, it certainly became a memorable stop along the way as James Meredith was shot here while leading a freedom march from Memphis to Jackson, MS. The shot was literally heard around the world when it was featured on the cover of Life magazine. TuGCVQS_L4A |
