(1,148 posts)The Neshoba County speech is a remarkable moment in American political history, the crystallization of an existential struggle whose outcome is still very much in doubt. Why would Reagan, fresh off the Republican convention with his partys nomination in hand, travel to a remote, rural county in a poor southern state that possessed all of seven piddly electoral votes? Devil knows why, indeed. Its in the history, and in particular an episode from the summer of 1964 the Mississippi freedom summer, when scores of civil rights workers travelled to Mississippi to organize and register African Americans to vote. On 21 June, three of these activists Michael Schwerner, age 24; James Chaney, age 22; and Andrew Goodman, age 20: kids, basically drove from their base in Meridian to Neshoba County to investigate the burning of tiny Mount Zion AME church, whose congregation had recently agreed to host a freedom school on its premises. That afternoon, the three young men were arrested on a speeding charge by Neshoba County sheriff Lawrence Rainey, held in jail for six hours, then released around 10.30 in the evening. They drove off in the direction of Meridian and disappeared.
