MISSISSIPPI - Freedom Summer Murders

MISSISSIPPI Would you be strong enough to call out racial injustices facing black American's right after your husband was murdered? Your white husband to be exact, and to call attention to the fact that the only reason his murder is getting any attention at all is because of the color of his skin? This week we dive south to Mississippi, one of the biggest hotspots of racial segregation back in the day, and discuss the Freedom Summer Murders. _________________ Follow us on, X: MAmericaPodcast Instagram: MurderousAmerica Tik Tok: murderousamerica _________________ As far as we know everything that we mention in this story is factual.
