... Recently in class we have watched film on persecution and prejudice called Mississippi Burning. The film was set in Mississippi and took place in 1964. The film was about 3 young men who were Civil Rights Activists. They were in Mississippi to set up voting posts so that blacks could vote as well as the whites. Two of the men were white and one black. They were murdered by members of the KKK because they didn't agree with what the men were doing as they didn't think blacks should have the same rights as the whites. The police wouldn't do anything as they were also members of the KKK so the FBI was called in. The KKK are a group of white people who did not accept any one who were Jews, Turks, Mongols, Orientals, Negroes, nor any other person whose native background of culture is foreign to the Anglo-Saxon system
