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.


The KKK is the oldest of the White Supremicist Hate groups in America. Their self styled mission has been to protect the dominance of the white race. They have, over the years, been responsible for lynchings and other forms of murder and torture. Many Southern politicians in the 20th century were members of this group which in teh first half of the century was a major political force in Souithern States and Indiana. By the end of the 20th century there were almost no politicians who would jion the organization, and the attitude of most politicians, including those from the South, was rather nagetive towards the Klan. However, a few were rather insensitive to the evil nature of the Klan and would make jokes loke this one. Sessions, over his career, had several racist commens that he had made inclding this one. He called an attorney who defended Blacks accused of crimes a race traitor and referred to civil right groups as unAmerican. His appointment as Attorney General by Donald Trump was met with consternation by many biven his history of racial remarks.
