| Description: | In 1967, a state criminal jury in Jackson, Mississippi, acquitted Ku Klux Klan member Ernest Avants of the murder of Ben Chester White, a sixty-seven-year-old black man who worked as a farmhand. At the time, convictions for white-on-black crimes were hard to come by in Mississippi courts. The state put on evidence that Avants, along with two other Klansmen, brutally killed White to lure Martin Luther King Jr. to their state so that they could assassinate him. |
