Richard Holmes (b. Chicago, Feb. 17, 1944) is an American medical doctor who specialized in emergency room medicine. As a third-year college student, in 1965 he enrolled in the previously segregated Mississippi State University. He was one of five black Mississippians who pioneered the effort to desegregate the major state universities of Mississippi as part of the African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–1968). Following passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, his enrollment was the most peaceful of these efforts to that point.
