Forty years ago, three civil rights activists, James Chaney Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman, were murdered in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Ben Chaney, the brother of James Chaney, is pushing to have his brother’s murder case reopened. He says he has found a federal prosecutor willing to prosecute the case, and says the Attorney General of Mississippi is paying attention.
In this radio diary, he recalls what happened the night of June 21st, 1964, and explains why he thinks it is important to reopen the four-decade old murder case.
