Breaking Silence for Justice

Florence Mars was a white activist in Philadelphia, Mississippi. She testified in the FBI investigation of the murders of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner--the Philadelphia Three--who were attempting to register African-Americans to vote. Klansmen and local police officers murdered all three and his their bodies in an earthen dam. The whole town wanted to cover the crime up. Except Florence Mars. When the residents discovered her involvement with the investigation, they burned down her barn, poisoned her livestock, and boycotted her farm.
