Transformative Memory and the Mississippi Burning Murders
In 1964 three young civil rights workers were brutally murdered in Neshoba County Mississippi for their participation in the Freedom Summer voter registration campaign. How did the white community silence this past while local African Americans kept it alive? Why did both white and black Neboba Countians ultimately come together to organize two commemorations of these murders with very different outcomes? Find out from Furman University Professor Claire Whitlinger on the January 7th episode of Realms of Memory.
