Dear Makers of Assumptions,
1 - Polices, while I appreciate your services to our community and society, I HATE it when people get singled out for searches or questions based on their appearance. ESPECIALLY when the individuals actions and behaviors give off no such reason for you to approach them. On more than one occasion, you assume/tell me that I have drugs when I do not.

Murder during Freedom Summer
These three men, (from right), Andrew Goodman, James Chaney, and Michael Schwerner were abducted and murdered in Mississippi in the summer of 1964 because of their involvment in activism related to Freedom Summer. National attention was directed to this spectacle, as an alarming indicator that the sacrifices of the movement weren't exclusively black. White segregationists in Mississippi sought to make an example of Goodman and Schwerner to frighten other whites involved in the struggle. It didn't work.
