Personal Fact of Andrew Goodman | |
Andrew Goodman was an American civil rights activist, murdered at a young age by members of the Ku Klux Klan. He was a bright young student with an inherent goodness and a strong sense of commitment towards social activism. His parents were devoted supporters of social justice and equality which also influenced him to become involved in social and political activism at an early age.
Being an activist, he volunteered to take part in the Freedom Summer campaign to register blacks to vote in Mississippi, where he met fellow social activists, Michael Schwerner and James Chaney. After being chosen to investigate the case of a fire attack on a Mississippi church, the three men traveled to Mississippi together where they were later killed by members of the Ku Klux Klan, the organization which was also responsible for burning the church. After the FBI was able to uncover the true story behind trio’s disappearance, some criminals were convicted but only with the charge of civil rights violation.
Decades later, under the constant pressure of media and with new evidence coming to light, the mastermind behind their killings was sentenced for imprisonment. Although Andrew had a short life span, he was able to create a very unique and special place in the hearts of people around the world. He was a selfless person and his unconditional sacrifice continues to serve as an inspiration to generations of social and political activists. |
