James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Mickey Schwerner - Neshoba County Jail Deaths - June 21, 1964
This is not the first time that an activist has turned up dead after a stay in the Neshoba County Jail.
On June 21, during the Freedom Summer of 1964, three civil-rights activists—James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Mickey Schwerner— were booked into the Neshoba County Jail on minor (and bogus) charges. The trio soon vanished and their bodies were discovered in a dam 44 days after they went missing.
The jail has since been moved, but its legacy remains firmly rooted in 1964 and Mississippi is still burning.
