- "I went downtown one day, and friends that I had known for 10 years would turn and walk away from me, or hang their heads. Some would speak and walk on as if I had leprosy or something."
Watch "Freedom Summer" on American Experience PBS on June 24 at 9/8c.
You'd be surprised how little things have changed!
There was a book written in 1964 and released on the same day the three Civil Rights workers were kidnapped:Mississippi, the closed society by James Silver who taught in the Ole Miss.He described the society of Mississippi in perpetual spiritual secession from the Union.He mentioned that White people that were against the segregation were threatened.
Absolutely barbaric. To kill someone's pet & threaten their way of life.
Realize that these people were racist also.
...that's how ingrain white supremacy is in America.
History smiles on them
This would make a great movie
The devil will never win . still will not be stopped regardless of back then to now
Racism and ignorance knows no bounds.
I think this is mainly a propaganda piece.
For whom?
Uncomfortable = propaganda these days.
LOL
And that’s Mississippi up and down.
They even killed their dog. Theyre not even human. Im a white man, not that it should matters.
Unfortunately, it does. Because I'm a Black man and believe me, it make a HUGE difference in damn near everything socially.
God bless the great state of Mississippi 👌🙏👌
I don't get it. They had a "column" in their front yard?
I love Mississippi. I have relatives in Virginia, Mississippi, Tennessee, etc. Great folks!
Yes sure great folks! I have relatives in Memphis Tennessee and I never talk about race with them but I know what they think about black people. I think it's terrible what happened to the woman and her family in this video, Unforgivable.
Meade Music, Jesus said they hated me so they will hate you because you are righteous!!
racist shit hole, to this day.
You must be white.
I had family in Mississippi: Lynched. Family in Alabama: Lynched. Family in South Carolina: Lynched. Family in Arkansas: Shot burned and you guessed it... Lynched! The crime in EVERY instance: Being Black and Educated... having a desire to learn. I don't need a course on the good people of the south! Thankfully today by the grace of Heru and the power and strength of my ancestors...I am educated and teaching others. Each one, teach one. It's the ONLY way out. Ase'
What has 3 eyes and can't see? Mississippi
Calvin Newborn 4?
Cool
This is testament to the Godless society that existed down there. Any one of them that would object to that statement I would prove a liar to God Himself. We all owe death....then comes judgement.
And what gets my motor running is that most of those racist back then claimed to be staunchly Christian. Be sure your sin will find you out.
@@bryceharris2175 still do.
What did she do exactly?!??
they invited 2 civil rights activists to their home. the klan was watching their every move and anyone caught fraternizing with them were considered traitors to the white race.
Who was Red Hefner?
They killed the dog ! Monsters
I don't understand why their white neighbors and friends turned on them. I didn't see one Black person in the entire news clip.
Yes I am confused as well who were the white people in the car, were they already known to be oppositionist to segregation ?
They brought the agitators from up North into their home. They were lucky to get out alive.
Oh...how sad. Imagine if that family was an entire country....welcome.
I love Mississippi too! We love our neighbors too, whatever color they may be. This was 60 years ago.
This same hate and racism is in Mississippi today in 2021.....
Lies
'This was 60 yrs ago' is the type of bull-hit I hear from blind/ignorant white people who don't/wont face the fact that racism didn't have a 'end date'. Keep living in Denial.
I am missing something . Why did tere friends and neighbors feel that way . They didn't say anything about race ? OR Eat with black people or marry or date blacks ????? Help me out .
You're underestimating the hatred of the racist segregationist. In the minds of the average Mississippian, the Civil War never ended and they were going to defend Jim Crow division by any means necessary.
They invited civil rights workers to their house.
Racially Mississippi is one of the most progressive states in the union today. Yes, there was bad racial attitude 50 years ago. So before you dump your criticism on them, look in your own back yards. Be assured that regardless of the area of this nation in which you live you will find worse race relations than Mississippi has today. I know. I have lived in many our your areas.
It’s the poorest state of the union. Look it up.
EXACTLY what bigot LESTER MADDOX was saying 70 years ago.....how evolved they were , how it all changed “in the 1930’s” ( his words)
@@TheGeosto Lester was a good ole boy through. A bigot he was. That is what I liked about him. He is one of the greatest men that ever lived. He knew the south like the back of his hand. If we only had more people like him this country would be a better place. Such a great man.
Mississippi has always voted Republican since the Civil Rights era, with the exception of George Wallace and Jimmy Carter. That is not progressive.
@@LastCommodore yes they always vote Republican and it’s hard to understand why being the poorest state in the country. There is a lot of history in Mississippi and it will be just that history. They could attract a lot of tourists if they would get their blues music theme going again but they will never do it. All the dying little towns could prosper if they would get some juke joints going. If you think poor you stay poor.
Mississippi, one of the best Ststes in The Union!,
WRONG!
They did the right thing, just leave; and I say all the other liberal entertainers who are always used by the social engineers to force social changes on people that they don't won't and usually make things bad in the long run should leave too; and just leave people alone and stop interfering in their lives!!!
Like Kitty Genovese !!!
Thats what black america was saying, you dont want to just live your life you want to control other peoples lives whike you live your life
Pipe down you dumb hick.
👽❓🙈🙉🙊🤮
Can’t blame the white people , school, home and church and job, it was a question of race in Society.
Well who would you say is the perpetrator of the racism in society.... the boogey man???
