This was the closing paragraph of the text:
It doesn't belong here simply. If the point is that 'March Against Fear' may refer to something else then a WP:HATnote is appropriate.
If some account should be included here because of a closer relation between the two events --perhaps both concern the African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–68) (despite one-year mismatch in that title)-- then this Arkansas event should be covered in a separate section and with more background.

We say that the Mississippi State Police tear-gassed the march in Canton, MS.
Mississippi Highway Patrol#Brief history includes a proud paragraph on the positive role of MHP in the "1966 Meredith Mississippi March for Freedom" from Memphis to Jackson. "Guarded by the Mississippi Highway Patrol, the marchers were not attacked on their main route. The March concluded on June 26 with a rally of 15,000 people in Jackson ..."
That date 1966 June 26 matches this article--as do Meredith, Memphis, and Jackson--which implies that the March Against Fear and March for Freedom were the same march.
Perhaps there were two marches. Perhaps there were two agencies, one "police" agency opposed in Canton and "Highway Patrol" guarding the marchers, at least some places including Jackson. Perhaps there are mistakes in both articles.
