Résumé

The Mississippi White Knights of the Klu Klux Klan murdered three civil rights workers-James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner on June 21, 1964 in Philadelphia, Mississippi, and buried the bodies of these slain victims in a dam on Highway 21 a few miles southwest of Philadelphia, Mississippi, in what is known as "The Freedom Summer Murders." The Ku Klux Klan in Mississippi did not want civil rights workers coming into their state and registering African Americans to vote.
The parents of one of the victims, Michael Schwerner, were important people in New York that donated to U. S. President Lyndon Johnson's democratic political campaigns so Johnson put pressure on FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to send massive amounts of FBI Agents to Mississippi to investigate these murders. Local law enforcement in Mississippi were complicit in the Klan murder of the civil rights workers which made the FBI's job more difficult.
Find out in this informative report how the FBI resorted to using Colombo crime family hitman Gregory "The Grim Reaper" Scarpa to brutally interrogate a mayor of a Mississippi town who was a member of the Ku Klux Klan to find out the location of where the bodies of Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner were located. The criminal Colombo family mobster Gregory "The Grim Reaper" Scarpa was a homicidal maniac who was an informant for the Bureau since the early 1960's.
The assassination of the three civil rights workers was ordered by Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan Samuel Bowers. Also find out about the unique relationship between Scarpa and his handler, FBI Agent Lindley DeVecchio, who Scarpa bribed to receive information about his enemies within the Colombo crime family. Once the FBI found out about the Klan conspiracy to kill the three civil rights workers in Philadelphia Mississippi, it decided to launch a counterintelligence (COINTELPRO) operation against the Ku Klux Klan by setting up the secret bomber of Imperial Wizard Samuel Bowers, Thomas Tarrants, using paid informants that talked Tarrants into bombing the home of prominent Meridian Mississippi Jewish businessman Adolph Botnick.
Find out what happened to Tarrants when the FBI, an Army demolition team and the local police were waiting outside the home of Adolph Botnick when Tarrants showed up at his house with the bomb in Meridian, Mississippi. Finally, learn about how the assassin of Black civil rights leader, Medgar Evers, Mississippi Ku Klux Klan member Brian De La Beckwith, was arrested in New Orleans in 1973 with a time bomb in his car while he was on his way to the house of director of the B'nai B'rith Council of Greater New Orleans' Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Adolph Botnick, who was involved in the Summer 1968 sting operation against Thomas Tarrants in Meridian, Mississippi.
