KKK Mob Kills Three Civil Rights Workers | The FBI Files | Real Crime

[@vivians9392]

MY TRUE STORY, JULY 1964: I drove through Miss just weeks after this happened (boys killed) on my way to NYC Worlds Fair, driving from Houston, TX. A week later, coming home, we heard these boys were found dead, on the radio. We were all college aged, White, 2 females and 1 male: I was 20, with my co-worker friend 23, and family friend 19, who we dropped off at the University of Virginia. While we drove thru MS toward Meridian, we were suddenly being followed by a Sheriff (the Stetson hat, aviator sunglasses, and looked like a "Heat of the Night" guy, for real!) for several miles, into Meridian, and then he circled a cafe MANY times, where we stopped to eat, watching our every move thru the glass windows! We ate and quickly went to our motel for the night. We left Meridian early the next day & never knew how much danger we were in, until these 3 boys were found. I now believe this sheriff was very probably one of the KKK mob patroling around the Philadelphia/Meridian area, who killed, or knew who had killed these boys! The thing that kept us out of trouble? I believe the FBI presence in the area, and my smart friend having attached a small CONFEDERATE flag to the car antenna when we left Houston; for our protection, she said. SHE WAS SO, SO RIGHT! I'm 76 yrs old today and still remember that day with terror...

You couldn't get a conviction for murder in Mississippi at that time if the defendants were all white, and one of the victims was black. Bc the Jury would be made up of all white, So the fix was already in. It's just the way things were back then. But bc of This case and others the criminal justice system has changed to some Degree. It may not be perfect, but that's bc of the inherent and cultural Systemic racism apparently in practice Today. Racism is taught, you are not born a Racist

It definitely isn't taught. Your parents could be alcoholics or involved with drugs, but if you want nothing to do with that lifestyle, you will not become what they did. Same with racism. Both of my parents were racists and they would call black people plenty of names- I always thought it was disgusting and never knew why they did it. I was not even allowed to buy black Barbie dolls as a child, when I would pick one up, she would take it from me and put it back down and pick a blonde White Barbie up for me to have. It was crazy. I turned out absolutely nothing like either of my parents. No parent could make their child have hatred in their heart for an entire race of people who are all individuals. Parents could teach children anything, but if the teachings are wrong and filled with hatred, you can very easily shun them. That is what I did and that is what many many people have done as well.

[@Mischa21xo]

Well, those of us that are God fearing Christians, we know that God made us all in his image, and that we are all just as special in his eyes. We are all individuals and although the world tries to group us into races and different classes, and other groups, everyone is different and unique... we are all individuals, we are all worthy, and should be treated as such.

[@genataylor460]

I joined the Army in July 1967, and WAC basic training was in Anniston, Alabama at that time. On our first pass into town, we were warned not to be caught in the company of any black men. They said it didn't matter if it was your best friend's boy friend, if the police saw a white woman in the presence of a black man you would be arrested and if you were under 21 years old, you would not be surrendered to the military, they would hold you in jail until your parents were able to get there, in person, to bail you out. I attended AIT also at Ft McClellan, and at Thanksgiving, a black friend of mine invited me, two other white girls and two black girls to dinner at her parents' home there in Anniston. She had eight brothers and sisters, and all but the two youngest girls were serving in the military so they knew how lonely it can get to be away from your family during the holidays. Her father picked us up, and drove us to their house. Her mother had been up all night fixing an excellent turkey dinner for us, and we had a wonderful time. We had been outside in the yard with the younger sisters and someone had apparently notified the cops. Her father loaded us back in his car and we were almost to Ft McClellan when he told us, in a very nervous voice, we are being followed by a deputy sheriff. We were all pretty much scared. I knew my parents could not afford to go to Alabama to bail me out of jail, and to be honest, I don't think any of us had considered not being in the company of a black man would include one of the girls' father. We knew we were home safe when we got to the base and inside the gates. But my friend told us later that the KKK had paid several visits to her parents' house afterward, for months, and had even burned a cross in their front yard. Their crime - having the decency to invite a group of girls, far away from home and lonely, to a wonderful, home-cooked meal on Thanksgiving day and treating them like family. I never went back to Alabama again.

tate tate, _please_ watch and listen to the information that is presented in the program. They did indeed more or less get away with it. The killers were not convicted of murder. Murder is a state crime, and Mississippi refused to charge the killers. The perpetrators were charged with violating the victims’ U.S. constitutional civil rights, the only charges that the federal government had the jurisdiction to pursue and apparently the maximum sentence was ten years. Today they would likely be charged with federal terrorism charges, but at that time no such charges were possible at the federal level.

My whole point in all of these comments, however, has been what we see going on today in America all across the board should be a bigger concern than Till's murder, tho historically game-changing, is that all these pity comments like Till was just murdered last week and Rodney King, George Floyd, Tops grocery, Tamir Rice, Michael Gray, Michael Griffin, Yusef Hawkins, nobody seems to know a thing about them.

I was eight years old around that time and still had relatives who lived in that region from Louisiana to Georgia to Florida to the Carolinas up to Maryland. I don't think people can comprehend pre 1964 the consequences of the core power structures of law enforcement, judges and elected officials giving a small minority of the most psychotic and demented people a license to kill whoever they pleased. The majority of the White people in that region at the time may not have participated in such heinous crimes. But most were either indifferent or dared not challenge the firmly entrenched institutions that allowed these terrible things to happen. For generations after the end of reconstruction the elders spoke of Black organizations going to Washington DC to beg the federal government to intervene because so many people were disappearing. Never mind the outright killings of hangings and people being lynched and burned alive. I had relatives during that Era who came up North to live.Who were so terrified that they refused to go back. EVEN to attend the Funerals of relatives that were left behind.One thing I do remember is my mother and maternal grandmother sending care pkgs down home in Louisiana well into the mid 1970s. Relatives on my father's side did the same thing. Not to some foreign country. But the United States of America.

[@jerryfrelix6774]

In 1964, in Jackson Mississippi, I met Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner two days before they went missing. I was a young paper carrier for the Jackson Daily News. Being a person of color in a time of segregation, it was very unusual to see whites and black together in a black neighborhood. One of the white males asked if I had an extra paper, as Chaney, the black male was looking down from the upper window at me. This made me very nervous. I told the white male that I would have an extra paper for him the next day. The following day the other white male from this group came down and purchased a paper from me. I was shocked to see on the front page the pictures of those three men that I had encountered only two days before. I ran home and woke my mother up to tell her this harrowing news. She swore me to secrecy for fear of my life and safety of our family. I kept this secret until watching Mississippi Burning. That was a time which has left an unforgotten memory. May their souls rest in peace.

Also very sobering to read, knowing I was going to church every Sunday with some of the men who were mentioned in the book.

A friend of mine travelled the south in 1985. He had made friends with a girl who invited him to stay if ever he came down that way. He didn't notice anything strange until he was invited to a get together. He said he got the shock of his life when they all came downstairs dressed in those sheets & hoods. At the meeting they had a roulette wheel & other games where you'd win a weapon & were encouraged to go out & assault anyone of colour. The whole meeting was hate propaganda.

Former Deputy Cecil Price died in 2001, at his place of residence he was then transported to the same hospital where they kept the bodies of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner. Deputy Cecil Price did not take his oath of office seriously as a law enforcement officer he betrayed the public trust because he was trusted by the American people to protect society but decided to turn around and take advantage of the people he was sworn to protect. The bottom line is that Deputy Cecil Price acted unethically and failed to uphold the standards and the policy of the Neshoba County Sheriff's Department because as a law enforcement officer he is held to a higher professional standard than a civilian. Despite this, he decided to have two positions simultaneously: a police officer and a KKK member.

Thank you.

The people should have been ARMED

I love how mob boss, Greg Scarpo aka The Grim Reaper, a Capo in the Colombo Crime Family in New York, is tied into this story. Those who know, know exactly what I'm talking about! Those who don't should look it up and find out about it!

[@CJ428U]

Yea... Let's bring in one of the most Dangerous men we are currently unable to convict. To question, torture, and in the end, solving the case. Not that I agree, but in this case. Two wrongs made a right 🤔

[@robertbright2057]

Yes it is a know fact that the Family took care of some of those PIECES OF 💩.

[@TonyDanza4Lyfe]

Thank god too. Greg’s the man

How people used their power to manipulate the voiceless! So sick!

[@jessestewart169]

They are sick. Cowards weak and evil.

While a lot of society thinks racism, lynching, and other racially motivated hate crimes are something that happened a couple hundred years ago. This literally happened not long ago. My 68yr old aunt was among the 1st integrated class to graduate from Summerville high school and she graduated in 1971!!! They have class reunions and to this day, their white classmates have theirs and her & her black classmates have their own. I didn't choose my skin color it was given to me by the creator. So why should someone see me as less than bcuz of it? My black is beautiful and if i had to die and come back, I'd come back as a black woman EVERY the time. Hatred is something that continously boggles my mind.

Brave men and women.

To get rid of hate you have to stand up to hate because that is all they understand

[@matthewmorrison9344]

Fact that they wore white hoods meant they were nothing but cowards

[@gianmariavolonte4315]

12:45 My theory has always been that when Mickey was finally offered to make a call (if that's really the case and assuming it was for bail), he refused because the Klan knew he would call other members of COFO down to bail him out. I think Mickey knew that himself, Andrew and James were in grave danger and didn't want to have the lives of other members of the movement put in harms way.

[@gregpettis1113]

He made a big mistake by not calling

[@mansakhanlv8487]

He saved lives with that decision if it’s truthful he was asked if wished to place a call

[@ladyredd1618]

I highly doubt that's even true. It's his word compared to three innocent boys that he had just murdered.

[@Davidthestratman7]

Makes sense however the call could have saved thuer lives by bringing attention to the FBI. However I feel they knew they were going to do a hand off so I don't think there was a call offer

[@trishiaannhellums6556]

i saw the movie, mississippi burning. so sad those young men. had rights too. thay didnt derve to die just for civil rights.

Klan is wickedness beyond evil.
