Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner (along with James Chaney) were activist who were killed by the Ku Klux Klan after talking with members of a black church that had been burned down. Emmet Till was an African American male who was killed by Mose Wright and his half-brother J.W. Milam because he had allegedly been flirting with his wife.
