Mississippi Burning Case, 1964

Agents digging up the remains of the three murdered civil rights workers, Andrew Goodman, James Chaney, Michael Schwerner, in the Mississippi Burning case (MIBURN) in 1964 in Meridian, Mississippi. The three men had been working with the "Freedom Summer" campaign to register African-Americans to vote. They were arrested for speeding, escorted to the local jail and held for a number of hours. They were released, but followed by law enforcement and others. Their car was pulled over, they were abducted, driven to another location, shot at close range and their bodies transported to an earthen dam and buried. Their bodies were discovered two months later thanks to a tip-off. During the investigation it emerged that members of the local White Knights of the KKK, the Neshoba County Sheriff's Office and the Mississippi Police Department were involved in the incident.
