A 79-year-old Mississippi man has been arrested for the notorious 1964 murders of three civil rights workers James Chaney, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman. Edgar Ray Killen, a segregationist preacher linked to the Ku Klux Klan, faced trial in 1967 but was freed after the jury failed to reach a verdict. The three men were killed as they campaigned to register black voters. Mississippi officials say there will be further arrests in connection with the killings. We called Andrew Goodman’s mother, Carolyn Goodman, for her reaction to the news.
