James Earl Chaney
21 Jun 1964
Philadelphia, MS
Risking his life to scout Mississippi for civil rights recruits, James Chaney became a trusted ally to activist Michael Schwerner.
While driving Schwerner and Andrew Goodman home from a KKK-burned church, Chaney, 21, was stopped by a deputy sheriff, turned over to the Klan, shot three times and buried. |
