Goodman, Schwerner murders caught after 40+ years...
Three men who led the KKK lynch party that murdered two young white men and a young black man (whose name, I am embarassed to admit, I cannot remember at the moment)who were on a voter registration campaign in Mississippi over 40 years ago, have finally been indicted and were arrested this morning.

The leader is now 79 years old.

Goodman's mother is still alive and lives in NYC. She was interviewed on tv and radio this morning.

1. It's nice to see the South getting around to solving some of these crimes

but WTF is taking so long. This is only a town of 10000 and a dozen or so were reponsible and it takes this long to break the silence and lies?

4. I waited too long to edit the original post, but you are right...
his family deserves the fact that his name is mentioned along with the other two. I totally drew a blank while typing the original post and did not take time to do a search - but thanks to you and another poster for reminding us of the name of James Chaney.
