The Living Legacy Project is excited to announce three powerful webinars to be held on the last Thursday of each month this spring. Mark your calendars today!
Reflections on the Movement with Dr. Steve Schwerner
Thursday, March 30
7:30 PM
Program is free and open to the public.
Donations accepted.
On June 21, 1964, three Freedom Summer organizers, James Chaney from Meridian, Mississippi, and Andrew Goodman and Michael (Mickey) Schwerner from New York City, disappeared after being released from jail in Neshoba County, Mississippi. Seven weeks later their bodies were discovered buried in a nearby earthen dam. The investigation showed that the murderers were members of the local White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the Neshoba County Sheriff’s Office, and the Philadelphia Police Department
You won’t want to miss this special and rare opportunity to hear from Mickey Schwerner’s brother, Steve, about how this horrific event shaped his life, his family’s life, and the lives of so many others!

As we hurl ourselves into another Presidential election cycle, join us for conversation with a panel of voting rights activists, including Ms. Patricia Lassiter, a veteran of local, state, and federal electoral campaigns in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, on the state of voting rights today.
