Book Synopsis The "Mississippi Burning" Civil Rights Murder Conspiracy Trial by : Harvey Fireside
Book excerpt: Examines the trials of the men accused of murdering three civil rights workers in Mississippi in 1964, including the Supreme Court decision to try to defendants in a federal rather than a state court and the final verdicts which marked the first time, in Mississippi, that a jury convicted white men for killing African Americans or civil rights workers.
