#Andrew Goodman

[whenweallvote]

In the summer of 1964, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael (Mickey) Schwerner worked together to register Black voters in Mississippi. During this “Freedom Summer” movement, volunteers were met with violent resistance from the Ku Klux Klan.

On this day in 1964: Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner disappeared near the town of Philadelphia, Mississippi — and six weeks later, a tip from an informant led the FBI to uncover their bodies at the Old Jolly Farm. They had been tortured and murdered by a Ku Klux Klan mob.

Today, we honor their legacies and everyone before us who fought for our right to vote. Join us in continuing their work by registering voters in YOUR community. Sign up today at weall.vote/Juneteenth.

History the Mississippi GOP bans from the classroom in their state: On this date August 4 in 1964, civil rights workers Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James Chaney were found dead in Mississippi after disappearing on June 21, 1964. They were murdered by members of the Mississippi KKK. The state of Mississippi failed to bring any charges against their murderers until 2005—forty-one years after the murders—and attempted repeatedly to obstruct federal investigations. Picture: FBI.

On August 4, 1964, following several weeks of national news coverage and an intensive search by federal authorities, the bodies of civil rights workers Michael Schwerner, James Chaney, and Andrew Goodman were found in Longdale, Mississippi. The three men, who went missing after being released from a local Mississippi jail, had been shot to death and buried in a shallow grave.

Earlier that year, Michael Schwerner had traveled to Mississippi to organize Black citizens to vote. A white New Yorker working with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), Mr. Schwerner worked extensively with a Black CORE member from Meridian, Mississippi, named James Chaney. The activist pair led an effort to register Black voters and helped Mt. Zion Methodist Church, a Black church in Longdale, create an organizing center. These developments angered local members of the Ku Klux Klan; on June 16, while Mr. Schwerner and Mr. Chaney were away, Klansmen torched the church and assaulted its members.

On June 21, Mr. Schwerner, Mr. Chaney, and a new white CORE member named Andrew Goodman investigated the church burning and then headed for Meridian, Mississippi. Knowing that they were in constant danger of attack, Mr. Schwerner told colleagues in Meridian to search for them if they did not arrive by 4 pm. While passing through the town of Philadelphia, Mississippi, the three men were stopped by Neshoba County Deputy Sheriff Cecil Price.

A member of the Ku Klux Klan, Mr. Price had been monitoring the activities of the civil rights workers. He arrested the men on traffic charges and held them in jail for about seven hours before releasing them on bail. Mr. Price escorted Mr. Schwerner, Mr. Chaney, and Mr. Goodman out of town but soon re-arrested the men and held them until other Klansmen could join. They were not seen alive again.

When the three activists did not arrive in Meridian, they were reported missing and soon became the subjects of a highly publicized FBI search and investigation. As the days turned into weeks, some Mississippi officials and white segregationists accused civil rights leaders of fabricating the workers' disappearance to gain support for their cause. Once the three men's bodies were discovered on August 4, however, no one could deny their fates.

While their disappearance resulted in national news stories, Michael Schwerner’s wife and fellow CORE worker Rita Schwerner, admonished reporters in 1964: “The slaying of a Negro in Mississippi is not news. It is only because my husband and Andrew Goodman were white that the national alarm has been sounded.” Indeed, investigators searching Mississippi’s woods, swamps, and rivers that summer found the remains of at least two more Black men: Henry Dee and Charles Moore, college students who were kidnapped, beaten and murdered in May 1964.

60 Years Later ...

I missed an important anniversary yesterday.  It was exactly 60 years ago yesterday when three young men were brutally murdered, with the assistance of law enforcement, by the Ku Klux Klan for their ‘crime’ of helping Black people register to vote.  The men, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, were attacked by more than 20 klansmen, beaten to death, shot at point blank range, then…

Andrew Scott, Olivia Cooke and Brandon Kyle Goodman in Modern Love: “Hers Was A World Of One”

The relationship between Tobin (Scott) and Karla (Cooke) especially, or rather the one they built, was just too precious for words. Like, he knew they were so different and that she’d piss him off (and likewise) but he still loved her so much. And that panic he had after they argued and she left… 🥺😢

Love this sweet little story of which the subject matter is particularly close to my heart 🤰👶 (with a surprising yet welcome cameo from Ed Sheeran playing a British homeless dude thrown in 🤣)

In yesterday’s newsletter, I noted the murder of Emmett Till as an event whose significance took decades to fully understand. When I wrote that sentence, I hesitated and considered adding a reference to the murders of civil rights workers Andrew Goodman, James Chaney, and Michael Schwerner. The bodies of all three civil rights workers were discovered in a field in Mississippi on August 4, 1964—fifty-nine years ago today.

          To keep my introduction to yesterday’s newsletter short, I omitted the reference to Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner. On Thursday, Andrew Goodman’s brother David reached out to remind me of the 59th anniversary of the deaths of three brave young men who traveled south to help register Black voters disenfranchised by Jim Crow laws. Their fearless dedication to democracy ended in their brutal murders at the hands of the local KKK chapter in Neshoba County, Mississippi.

           Their martyrdom touched a nerve in America. The illustrator Norman Rockwell sought to capture the brutality of their murders in one of his most important works, “Murders in Mississippi,” aka “Southern Justice.” My wife and I recently visited the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where I took the photo included below.

          The oil painting has a complicated history that is relevant to the struggle for civil rights in America. Norman Rockwell spent his career as an illustrator for The Saturday Evening Post, but left in 1963 because of the Post’s rule that limited Rockwell to painting Black people “only in subservient positions.” At Look Magazine, Rockwell began to explore the issue of civil rights. He painted “Murders in Mississippi / Southern Justice” to accompany an article about the murders of Goodman, Schwerner, and Chaney that inspired a generation of young people to take up the cause of civil rights.

          In the end, Look Magazine published an early pencil sketch that was more impressionistic and less visceral than the final oil painting. The oil painting hangs in the Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge. It is easy to see why the final version may have been too realistic for the readers of Look Magazine in 1964.

          Many Americans may not be able to recall the names Andrew Goodman, James Chaney, and Michael Schwerner, but they know their story. They know that young Americans of all colors and creeds risked their lives to take a stand for equality and liberty. They know that the bravery of those early “freedom marchers” resulted in tremendous progress in civil rights for all Americans.

          Each of us follows in the footsteps of people like Goodman, Chaney, Schwerner, John Lewis, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., Hosea Williams, Coretta Scott King, and others too numerous to name. When we write letters, send postcards, make calls, march in solidarity, knock on doors, and show up at the polls, we are following the example of the faithful servants of democracy who preceded us.

          While few of us are called to make sacrifices similar to Goodman, Chaney, Schwerner, King, and Lewis, some are willing to take on work that is uncomfortable and possibly confrontational as we strive to “get out the vote.” I was reminded of this fact by reader Lori E. from Indianapolis, who sent the following note about her experiences phone banking to get out the vote in Ohio:

Hello Robert:  I want to thank you for sending the link for phone banks with Ohio Progressive Action Leaders.  I phone banked with them the last 2 nights, and my last call of the night last night was over the moon for me, and I have phone banked my guts out for the last several years.  I thought this woman was wanting to lead me into an argument about Issue 1, but she really didn't know what it was about, and I explained to her in detail why it is bad for everyone - especially the 88-county requirement, which is considerably more horrifying than the 60% requirement.  She wanted to know why Issue 1 was brought before Ohio voters, and I told her the truth.  Her big concern was term limits, and I told her that is something everyone wants to see on each side of the aisle, and that - as well as so many other citizen-led initiatives - were almost certain to never make it to a ballot if Issue 1 passes.  One conversation like that is exactly what makes an entire phone bank worthwhile for me.  She is also concerned about her children and what kind of country they will live in, and I told her that she simply must vote no then. It was one of those moments when I'm pretty certain I reached a person that I convinced to vote.  At the end of the conversation, she thanked me and said, “I know you probably don't hear this enough, but I'm so grateful you called and explained this to me.” I thanked her for making my entire evening phenomenal.  It truly was a magical moment. 

          Lori E.—like each of us—is honoring the sacrifices of the civil rights workers who faced danger, hatred, and violence to carry us to this point. Being able to reach voters by phonebanks, texts, and postcards is a privilege that we exercise because of those who came before us.

We can beat Trump, take control of Congress, and recapture state legislatures and statehouses in 2024. It will be hard. It will require sacrifice. But our sacrifice is a small repayment of the greater sacrifice of those who secured our freedom with their lives.

          Andrew Goodman’s legacy lives on in the good work of the Andrew Goodman Foundation, which supports youth leadership development, voting accessibility, and social justice initiatives on campuses across the country.

ok now im curious - what music do you leave on for the birds while youre away?

I have a couple different CDs I picked up at the thrift store and I try to change it out every once in awhile, but mostly they listen to old jazz because that's some of my favorite music. I was very excited when I found a CD that's called "songs from world war 2".
