Mickey Schwerner and the Civil Rights Movement

I play one of the 3 young men murdered in Mississippi in 1963 while trying to register black people to vote.  I come back from the dead, some blood involved but students do not get bloody, and tell my story as well as what I think about race relations up to today.  The second half of the Program comes from a conversation I had with Schwerner’s wife about 15 years ago.  This is more of a one man show, but I pull kids in for a few things.  Video clips from Murder in Mississippi lead into the Program.  30 minutes set up.
