What acts of violence were committed by the KKK in Mississippi?

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) committed numerous acts of violence in Mississippi, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement. They were involved in lynchings, cross burnings, and assaults against African Americans and civil rights activists. Notably, in 1964, the KKK infamously murdered civil rights workers Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, and James Chaney, an event that drew national attention to the violent repression faced by Black citizens in the South. Their actions aimed to maintain white supremacy and suppress efforts for racial equality.
