Several males were killed during the Civil Rights Movement. Are you asking about Emmett Till who was killed before the Civil Rights movement began but who's death is credited with helping to start the movement? A native of Chicago, he was visiting his uncle in a small town in Mississippi when he spoke "disrespectfully" to a white woman. Three days later he was kidnapped, beaten, murdered and his body was dropped into the Tallahatchie River.
AnswerThere were three CORE workers who come to mind for most people. James Chaney who was a 21 year old black man, Michael Schwerner 24 who was white and Andrew Goodman 20, also white. They were murdered in Meridian, Mississippi on June 21st 1964. Authorities believe it was because Schwerner knew too much about KKK members.Wiki User
