Whatsoever a man soweth

This is a documentary on the Mississippi Civil Rights workers Michael Schwerner, James Chaney, and Andrew Goodman, prior to the discovery of their bodies in Mississippi in 1964. The documentary begins with Dale Minor narrating the dragging of the Mississippi as they search for the missing bodies. Much of the program revolves around the Council of Federated Organizations (COFO) and their work in Mississippi to register Black voters. Voices in the program include Preston Ponder, Meridian office Student Nonviolence Coordinating Committee (SNCC) staffer; James Forman, Secretary of SNCC; Mississippi Governor Paul Johnson; and white students from the North talking about their orientation and deployment in Mississippi for Freedom Summer. The program also documents the reporters’ experiences with law enforcement officials while creating this documentary. This program was produced by Dale Minor and Chris Koch.
