Description of The “Mississippi Burning” Civil Rights Murder Conspiracy Trial: A Headline Court Case (Headline Court Cases)
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.
