black-to-the-bones:They had been working to register black voters in Mississippi during Freedom Summer and had gone to investigate the burning of a black church. They were arrested by the police on trumped-up charges, imprisoned for several hours, and then released after dark into the hands of the Ku Klux Klan, who beat and murdered them. It was later proven in court that a conspiracy existed between members of Neshoba County’s law enforcement and the Ku Klux Klan to kill them.We should never forget them. They were fighting for us and died for us.A reminder: KKK is still here. They are still an official organization against black people, who even have their own website. -- source link
