Reflections from the Movement with Dr. Steve Schwerner
On June 21, 1964, three Freedom Summer organizers, James Chaney from Meridian, Mississippi, and Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner from New York City, disappeared after being released from jail in Neshoba County, Mississippi. Seven weeks later their bodies were discovered buried in a nearby earthen dam. The investigation showed that the murderers were members of the local White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the Neshoba County Sheriff's Office, and the Philadelphia Police Department
We are deeply honored to announce that Michael (Mickey) Schwerner's brother, Dr. Steve Schwerner, will join us for a dialogue with Dr. Janice Marie Johnson on reflections from the Civil Rights Movement and the lasting effect of racism in the US.
