A volunteer in the 1964 Freedom Summer campaign to register Black voters in Mississippi and set up Freedom Schools for Black Southerners, Goodman was murdered by Ku Klux Klan members in Philadelphia, Mississippi, alongside fellow civil rights workers James Chaney and Michael Schwerner. Their deaths turned national attention onto the violence facing the voting-rights campaign and remain one of the defining atrocities of the civil rights era.
