We must never forget the young men who gave their lives in Philadelphia, Mississippi, in 1968. Goodman, Schwerner, and Chaney were murdered, a horrific act we must acknowledge. Two of these brave individuals were white, highlighting the crucial role white allies have played in the liberation of African Americans. From John Brown to the founding of the NAACP, we recognize we are not alone in this struggle for equality. Their sacrifice is honored. #CivilRights #Equality #RememberTheSacrifice #Blac
