AG Holder at Ole Miss : ‘Challenge nation to aim higher’

He added that much work came ahead of it and much more still follows it.
“There’s no question that this university’s integration marked a significant moment and a tangible step forward in the long march for civil rights,” said Holder, who was the keynote speaker for the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College’s Fall Convocation.
