I was in Meridian during this time. While I don't remember very much about it (I was a child), I do remember the anger, sadness, and sheer embarrassment that this happened.
Like I said...I was young, and these are the impressions of a young child.

I joined the Navy just after the killings, my first period of time outsided the state. I never had any idea how big the the story was untill then. Lots of people asked me dumb and embarassing questions. Like what's the Klan like?(Didn't know, didn't know any) Do all the people have Klan robes?(didn't know, never seen any). Why are people in the South so hard on the blacks(I don't know, why are people in the North so hard on the Blacks?) Do they have electricity in Neoshoba County? What's a red neck?
