On June 21, 1964, three young civil rights workers, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, were murdered near Philadelphia, Mississippi. Florence Mars, a native of Philadelphia, recounts the grim circumstances of the killings and describes what happened to a community confronted by a challenge to long-held beliefs.
Florence Mars, who has spent most of her life in Neshoba County, Mississippi, has also lived in Atlanta and New Orleans. A freelance photographer, many of whose photographs illustrate this book, Mars has had pictures of Mississippi rural scenes and New Orleans architecture, parades, and jazz bands in such publications as the New York Times and Time.
