June 21, 1964: Neshoba County killings June 21, 1964: Neshoba County killings In the summer of 1964, civil rights activists James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner left their base in Meridian, MS to investigate one of a number of church burnings in the eastern part of the state. The Ku Klux Klan had burned Mount Zion Church because the minister allowed it to be used as a place for civil rights activists to organize and to recruit. After the three had gone into Neshoba County to investigate, they were subsequently stopped and arrested by Neshoba deputy Sheriff Cecil Price. After holding the three for hours, Price finally released them only to arrest them again shortly after 10:00. He then turned the civil rights workers over to his fellow Klansmen.

Income and wealth by race in the U.S.

Imagine a country where the minimum wage has become the poverty wage rather than an anti-poverty wage. Imagine a country where it takes two minimum wage workers to make what one worker made 40 years ago. Imagine a country where the infant death rate for the nation’s capital is higher than for children in Kerala, India. Imagine a country where childcare workers typically make about as much as parking lot attendants and much less than animal trainers.

Imagine a country where health care workers can’t afford health insurance. Where food industry workers may depend on food banks to feed their children. Where teacher’s don’t make enough to save for their own children’s education. Imagine a country where economic inequality is going back to the future circa 1920s. In 1979, the bottom third of taxpayers had more than twice as much combined income of the richest 1 percent. In 2003, this had reversed.

What does poverty look like?
