At the outset of 1964's "Freedom Summer," the KKK murdered civil rights workers Mickey Schwerner, James Chaney, and Andrew Goodman in Neshoba County, Mississippi. Schwerner's brother Steve and niece Cassie talk with Peter about the lasting impact of Mickey's death, and how inspiring it has been to see the civil rights movement's aims taken up with renewed passion by global Black Lives Matter protests in the summer of 2020. www.vocalheroes.com
