THE KILLEN TRIAL - The Neshoba Democrat - Philadelphia, Mississippi

INTERNET/ Feedback from the Democrat’s web site

THE LA TIMES/ Reporter goes home to a New South

I was one of the first two reporters to arrive in Philadelphia, Miss., in 1964, on the day Mickey Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman went missing. I was there as Newsweek’s main reporter on the Southern civil rights beat, and I went directly to the courthouse with Claude Sitton of the New York Times to question Sheriff Lawrence Rainey and Deputy Cecil Price.

NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI DAILY JOURNAL/ Common bond age, friendship not color

THE CLARION-LEDGER/ Message found in Killen’s sentence

Some in the national media and in the ranks of those for whom racial strife is a cottage industry chose to point to the fact that Edgar Ray Killen was convicted of three counts of manslaughter rather than murder as evidence that Mississippi is still mired in racial discord.
