The other night we watched a documentary about Freedom Summer or Mississippi Burning - the horrible events in 1964 in Mississippi dealing with rights and voter registration of black people. As part of that Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, and James Chaney - activists - were murdered.

Horrendous story and a slight personal connection for me. In 1958 I was a counsellor at Camp Tacoma Pines in Maine (no longer exists) and one of the campers in my cabin was Andy Goodman.

I am 3rd from the left in the bottom row and Andy was 4th from the left
