JOSEPH ALOYSIUS SULLIVAN

The FBI was trying to investigate the brutal murder of three civil rights workers in Mississippi—Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, & James E. Chaney. However it was very difficult to get witnesses to provide information as the suspects and later defendants at trial were also members of the Klan—one of them was the Imperial Wizard of the Mississippi KKK. Other criminals were the Sheriff and his deputy.
