Jeaniene Frost Quotes
How unconvincing. Try again.
Frost, Jeaniene. Halfway to the Grave. Avon, 2007.
Three civil rights workers were kidnapped in Mississippi by members of the Ku Klu Klan in 1964 (Goodman, Schwerner and Chaney) and after a few days the FBI found the car in which they had been driving. He reported to the President that they had been probably been killed. The President asked Hoover why they could not have been kidnapped and taken to somewhere else and held there. This was his answer. He turned out to be right. They were brutally murdered. An all white jury acquitted the murderers, but in 2005 the leader was again tried for murder. The Southern-dominated Senate for years would not pass any anti-lynching legislation and thousands of blacks and some sympathetic whites were brutally tortured and killed. In 2005, the Senate passed a resolution 98-0 apologizing for the inaction over the years on lynching. The two missing senators who did not vote for the resolution were from Mississippi.
