Reply #47: I remember hearing about Viola Liuzzo....and the lies about her [View All]

I think it's important that, according to the link, the lies were planted by the FBI

many who weren't alive then or haven't studied much about the civil rights movement do not know that Hoover hated MLK and that many FBI agents were opposed to the civil rights movement

I remember when Mississippi Burning was released.....many in the civil rights movement were furious about the movie, b/c it says that the FBI played a major role in bring the MS Summer murderers to justice, which is a LIE

there is another, much more accurate movie about MS Summer....I saw it on BET a few years ago.....nowadays MS Burning with its false 'information' seems to be all that people find if they want a movie about the period

the movie I saw a few years ago on BET was haunting....it brought back the whole atmosphere of fear that even a white girl in grad school in CA felt......MS at the time totally terrified me; terror is even today my first reaction when I read or see anything about MS

** a bit of explanation for my 'MS fear'....2 male friends from grad school took part in MS Summer.....within about a week after they were supposed to have arrived in MS it was reported that 3 males working with MS Summer had disappeared after being arrested in Philadelphia MS and then escorted out of town by the police.....the 2 white guys could have been my friends!
