Members of the University of Mississippi family and guests gather on the lawn between the Lyceum and the John D. Williams Library to dedicate the university's civil rights monument, which honors James Meredith and others who pioneered civil rights in the South and across the nation. As seen in this view from the third floor, between the Lyceum columns, looking toward the John D. Williams Library, the monument occupies a prominent place between the university's landmark administration building and its center of knowledge.
