Jewish and African Americans have stood shoulder to shoulder. They took buses down south together. They marched together. They bled together. And Jewish Americans like Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner were willing to die alongside a black man - James Chaney - on behalf of freedom and equality. Their legacy is our heritage. - BARACK OBAMA In 1964, a mob of Klansmen murdered three civil rights workers in the small Mississippi county of Neshoba (a crime that came to be known as the "Mississippi Burning" murders). These young men, two Jews from New York and an African-American from Mississippi, were in the Deep South helping register African-American voters during what became known as "Freedom Summer." Although the Klansmen bragged about what they did, no one was held accountable for murder until 2005, when the State indicted the mastermind of the killings, Edgar Ray Killen, an 80-year-old Baptist preacher and notorious racist. Neshoba: The Price of Freedom tells the story of these three American heroes and the Mississippi County still divided over the meaning of justice 40 years after their murders. The film takes an unflinching look at ordinary citizens struggling to find peace with their town's violent, racist past in today's America.

Democracy NOW! - DN! As the Justice Department announces it has closed nearly half of its investigations into unresolved killings from the civil rights era, we look back at the 1964 murders of civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, the subject of the new documentary "Neshoba: The Price of Freedom." Although dozens of white men are believed to have been involved in the murders and cover-up, only one man, a Baptist preacher named Edgar Ray Killen, is behind bars today. Four suspects are still alive in the case. We play excerpts of "Neshoba" and speak with its co-director, Micki Dickoff. We're also joined by the brothers of two of the victims, Ben Chaney and David Goodman. And we speak with award-winning Mississippi-based journalist Jerry Mitchell of the Clarion Ledger, who's spent the past 20 years investigating unresolved civil rights murder cases; as well as Bruce Watson, author of the new book "Freedom Summer: The Savage Season That Made Mississippi Burn and Made America A Democracy."

On May 29, 2010 over 100000 people took to the streets of Phoenix, Arizona to protest Arizona's Senate Bill 1070. SB 1070 would make the failure to carry immigration documents a crime and give the police the power to detain anyone suspected of being in the country without citizenship. SB 1070 is racial profiling and a major step backwards away from realizing civil rights. That is why we are calling for a Arizona Human Rights Summer in the spirit of the Mississippi Freedom Summer from 1964. In the coming months, we will peacefully escalate resistance to SB1070. Come to Arizona for the Day of Non-Compliance, July 29th, when SB 1070 is scheduled to go into effect. We will make this summer a Human Rights summer everywhere. Wherever the Diamondbacks play, protest. Wherever there are new police/ice collaborations, push back. Wherever Arizona companies do business, boycott. Wherever there is injustice, we must shut it down.

A short photo montage that I composed for my final creative piece in my Civil Rights Era class. I chose what I thought were influential people and events in Civil Rights Movement and collected of them. The people and events that I chose were Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, the Brown v. Board of Education decision, the murder of Emmett Till, the Little Rock 9, the freedom bus rides, Bull Connors police brutality in Birmingham, Kings letter and imprisonment in the Birmingham jail, the March on Washington, Freedom Summer, voter registration drives, the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, Johnsons signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the rise of Black Power, and the Black Panther Party. With all of the photos that I gathered, I used imovie to arrange them in chronological order, placed all of the transitions, and set the song as the background music. The song is "I Have a Dream" by the artist Common.
a documentary on the freedom summer of 1964
A clip from a school visit by author Stacia Deutsch. "Hot Pursuit" is available from major book retailers. From the publisher: It was the Freedom Summer of 1964. Civil rights workers Mickey Schwerner, Andrew Goodman, and James Chaney were driving through rural Mississippi. When a police cruiser flashed its lights behind them, they hesitated. Were these law-abiding officers or members of the Ku Klux Klan? Should they pull over or try to outrun their pursuers? The last day in the lives of these courageous young men is relived in this gripping story.
A video for AMS/HST 304 History Memory Tradition. For the last 12 months, I have been working on researching and conceptualizing a temporary exhibit for Down in Mississippi a production by Miami University Theater Department. We made a memory site on Miami's Campus away from the National memorial for Freedom Summer 1964.
This video is a compilation I made for a school project from videos found on the internet to illustrate the activist movements happening in the South (more specifically Mississippi) at the time - around 1960's. I do not own any of the following: Song: - Hurt, by Johnny Cash (instrumental version) Scenes: - Mississippi Freedom Sumer, 1964 - The South's First Sit-In - Freedom Ride - Sick And Tired of Being Sick And Tired
January 20, 1965 www.amazon.com Watch the full film: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com On September 7, 1964, Johnson's campaign managers for the 1964 presidential election broadcast the "Daisy ad." It portrayed a little girl picking petals from a daisy, counting up to ten. Then a baritone voice took over, counted down from ten to zero and a nuclear bomb exploded. The message was that Barry Goldwater meant nuclear war. Although it only aired the one time, it escalated into a very heated election. Johnson won the presidency by a landslide with 61% of the vote and the then-widest popular margin in the 20th century — more than 15 million votes (this was later surpassed by incumbent President Nixon's defeat of Senator McGovern in 1972). Percentage-wise, Johnson's popular vote margin of over 22 percentage points is a record that stands to this day. In the summer of 1964, the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP) was organized with the purpose of challenging Mississippi's all-white and anti-civil rights delegation to the Democratic National Convention of that year as not representative of all Mississippians. At the national convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey the MFDP claimed the seats for delegates for Mississippi, not on the grounds of the Party rules, but because the official Mississippi delegation had been elected by a primary conducted under Jim Crow laws in which blacks were excluded because of poll taxes, literacy tests, and even violence against black voters. The ...
Stokely Standiford Churchill Carmichael www.amazon.com (June 29, 1941 - November 15, 1998), also known as Kwame Ture, was a Trinidadian-American black activist active in the 1960s American Civil Rights Movement. He rose to prominence first as a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC, pronounced "Snick") and later as the "Honorary Prime Minister" of the Black Panther Party. Initially an integrationist, Carmichael later became affiliated with black nationalist and Pan-Africanist movements. He popularized the term "Black Power." In 1965, working as an SNCC activist in Lowndes County, Alabama, Carmichael helped to increase the number of registered black voters from 70 to 2600 — 300 more than the number of registered white voters. Black residents and voters organized and widely supported the Lowndes County Freedom Organization, a party that had the black panther as its mascot, over the white dominated local Democratic Party, whose mascot was a white rooster. Although black residents and voters outnumber whites in Lowndes, they lost the county wide election of 1965. Carmichael became chairman of SNCC later in 1966, taking over from John Lewis. A few weeks after Carmichael took office, James Meredith was attacked with a shotgun during his solitary "March Against Fear". Carmichael joined Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Floyd McKissick, Cleveland Sellers and others to continue Meredith's march. He was arrested once again during the march and, upon his release ...
