Case Files From 1964 US Civil Rights Worker Killings Made Public Voice of America 28 Jun 2021, 08:35 GMT+10 JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI - Never before seen case files, photographs and other records documenting the investigation into the slayings of three civil rights workers in Mississippi are now open to the public for the first time, 57 years after their deaths. The 1964 killings of civil rights activists James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner in Neshoba County sparked national outrage and helped spur passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. They later became the subject of the movie Mississippi Burning. The previously sealed materials - dating from 1964 to 2007 - were transferred to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History from the Mississippi attorney general s office in 2019. As of last week, they are now available for viewing by the public at William F. Winter Archives and History Building in Jackson.
