On September 30, 1962, riots erupted on the campus of the University of Mississippi in Oxford where locals, students, and committed segregationists had gathered to protest the enrollment of James Meredith, a black Air Force veteran attempting to integrate the all-white school. Despite the presence of more than 120 federal marshals who were on hand to protect Meredith from harm, the crowd turned violent after nightfall, and authorities struggled to maintain order.

Hello my name is Cheyann Stevenson and I was born on August 7th in 1997. I love to swim and play volleyball. Volleyball is one of my favorite sports besides football. As a child I never enjoyed reading, but as I got older I began to love it!
