James Earl Chaney was an African-American civil rights worker who was murdered in Mississippi in 1964 along with 2 of his fellow workers who happened to be white men. They were in the area to investigate the burning of Mt. Zion Methodist Church.
After being arrested for a supposed traffic violation, Chaney was released along with his fellow workers Michael Schwerer and Andrew Goodman. They were later accosted by members of the KKK on a rural road, beaten, mutilated, and shot. Their bodies were not discovered for almost 2 months.
The case of the missing workers garnered national attention and many, including Chaney's wife, believed that the case would not have been as thoroughly investigated had it been only Chaney who died.
