Oh Mississippi, what have you done?

The Mississippi civil rights workers murders involved the 1964 lynching of three political activists during the American Civil Rights Movement.

The murders of James Chaney, a 21-year-old black man from Meridian, Mississippi; Andrew Goodman, a 20-year-old white Jewish anthropology student from New York; and Michael Schwerner, a 24-year-old white Jewish CORE organizer and former social worker also from New York, symbolized the risks of participating in the Civil Rights Movement in the South during what became known as “Freedom Summer”, dedicated to voter registration.

The case also made salient the efforts of Jews in the Civil Rights movement.

The fact that Barbour isn’t screaming from the rafters to denounce these groups in his own state is unconscionable for a human being. He’s more worried about him and/or his friends looking like racists. The boat’s already sailed on that, I’m afraid.
