Those Three Are On My Mind

Michael Schwerner, James Chaney e Andrew Goodman e la foto del rinvenimento dei loro corpi...

... e i loro assassini: lo sceriffo Lawrence A. Rainey (qui ritratto nel 1967 durante il processo, Cecil Ray Price (qui a destra dello sceriffo Rainey, di cui era l'attendente, Samuel Holloway Bowers, leader del KKK del Mississippi e Edgar Ray "Preacher" Killen, altro esponente del KKK, condannato nel 2005 a 20 anni di prigione come mandante dell'omicidio nel 1964 dei tre attivisti dei diritti civili.

My name is Dawn. I was born in 1967 a few years after this monsterous attack. I have the same Grandmother that was Edgar Rays Grandmother. No one in our family speaks of this horriable injustice. No one in our family has had contact with Edgar in many years. I feel so hurt and angry about the murders of those three innocent boys. Neshoba County is still behind in life and racism (20 years or more). The Sheriff and KKK in the 60's in my opinion were never brought to justice. And the poor family's that were terrorized , murdered , and tortered will receive justice from God and all of the people who still mourn for their right's (civil). Thank You for remembering :) I will never forget.

My Mother in law wrote the lyrics to this song...Pete wrote the music. Her name was Frances Fink Taylor.
May they both rest in peace.

Robb - I read about Harry Belafonte singing this song at a social justice event last weekend in Atlanta. The article incorrectly stated that it was a new song. I found another reference that misidentified Frances Taylor as Frances Parker. I'm interested in learning more about Frances Fink Taylor and would be very interested to get some information from you. Her story deserves to be told. - Ken kmliss@gmail.com
