The J. D. Williams library on the campus of the University of Mississippi houses the special collections of William Faulkner's works. Here on the third floor, visitors can see Faulkner's Nobel Prize inside a glass case (no photos allowed). Outside of the library is a statue of Civil Rights movement participant James Meredith. In 1962, Meredith sparked riots by becoming the first black student at the Unversity of Mississippi.
