Mississippi Burning clip.avi

A clip from the early in the movie "Mississippi Burning".
Gene Hackman plays an FBI agent from Mississippi who is assigned to a young supervisor played by William DeFoe, and there is a little friction between them. And big differences in their individual styles of work.

Amazing story, people in this country forget, they act like these things are ancient history, and yet there are so many people still alive who lived through this. Is it so hard to believe that a black man or woman who watched this unfold would be still hold residual resentment?
