James Chaney
James Chaney was one of the three students in 1964 that was assassinated for helping the Civil Rights Movement. Chaney was an African American student and worked for the CORE organization. Chaney along with Michael Shwermer and Andrew Goodman were killed for fighting segregation and racism in 1964. This was when FBI racists decided to stand down and did not go against racists.
Two of the students were Caucasian and one was African American. This was when the Civil Rights Movement was desegregating cities and states. Because Civil Rights Activists were protesting through civil disobedience and pacifism, the racists were fearful that desegregation was going to remove the caste system created in the late 1800s with Jim Crowe laws.
Despite persecution and harassment (or "participatory democracy") by racist FBI agents and racists, individuals persevered breaking down segregation. MLK kept leading despite intimidation and revilings. MLK encouraged individuals of all ethnicities to fight racism with non-violence and pacifism. There were Caucasians who were fighting against racism.
Hoover, Sullivan, and the FBI probably trained Carmichael and H. Rap Brown to disrupt and prevent the unity that was occuring with MLK and the Civil Rights Movement. The intention of the racist FBI was to prevent the caste system from being broken in pieces. Despite persecution, individuals kept unity. Carmichael infiltrated SNCC in 1965 and told African Americans to expel Caucasians from the group. H. Rap Brown called for looting of Caucasian owned stores and rioting (and was even given time on the news to foment division while Civil Rights Activists were being punched, harrassed, and persecuted.) (That is why we can not say that marxism is Civil Rights or derived from Civil Rights. Marxism is cowardice, corruption, envy, and stagnation. Civil Rights described the importance of bravery, fighting racism and corruption, practicing pacifism, and improving through education and genuine empathy.)
