Aren't You Worried?

57. Mississippi Burning


Listen Later

For the fourth week of Black History Month, Amanda and Lauren return to Mississippi in the Civil Rights Movement era to discuss the murders of three civil rights workers in June 1964 - Michael Schwerner, James Chaney, and Andrew Goodman. This case is most commonly known as the Mississippi Burning case, or MIBURN, and it's a real doozy, everyone.
