This song sends chills down my spine? Anyone know if this is a true story? I don't suppose so, but the emotion behind it is so immense, I almost think it happened to Paul himself.

@sgdp Andrew Goodman, a civil rights activist was shot down in MI in 1964 by the Koo klux klan because he (and to quote the song,) "Hated what was wrong!".

@sgdp yes it’s a true story! 1961 …based on the real life freedom riders that left from Washington DC who set out on a bus ride with African Americans and whites to travel through the south to New Orleans… to test segregation laws prohibiting Interstate travel .. Violence ensued throughout the trip.. It wasn’t till 1964 the murders happened The movie Mississippi Burning tells their story.
