About this title

Synopsis

On June 21, 1964, three young civil rights workers―James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner―were murdered near Philadelphia, Mississippi. Florence Mars, a native of Philadelphia, recounts the grim circumstances of the killings and describes what happened to a community confronted by a challenge to long-held beliefs.
