It was an old-fashioned lynching, carried out with the help of county officials, that came to symbolize hardcore resistance to integration. Dead were three civil rights workers, Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman, and James Chaney, all shot in the dark of night on a lonely road in Neshoba County, Mississippi. Many people predicted such a tragedy when the Mississippi Summer Project, an effort that would bring hundreds of college-age volunteers to "the most totalitarian state in the country" was announced in April, 1964.

Who helped register black voters in Mississippi?
There were many members of the NAACP, the SNCC (Students' Non-violent Coordinating Committee), and CORE (Council on Racial Equality) who travelled to Mississippi in the late 1950's and early 1960's to organize voter registration there. Mississippi had a black voting-age population of nearly 45%, but only one in every nine was registered to vote. The state had created qualifying tests that prevented most from registering, and intimidation methods, such as loss of employment, made many residents frightened to try. Among the leaders who were active in voter registrations and boycotts of white businesses were Martin Luther King of the SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference) and the SNCC's Robert Parris Moses, Marion Barry, and Medgar Evers. Evers was shot and killed in July, 1963. Three volunteer workers for CORE (Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman, and James Chaney) were murdered in June, 1964.
