On January 10, 1966, Klansmen murdered civil rights leader Vernon Dahmer in Forrest County, Mississippi. Although the Dahmer case became a watershed in the long struggle for racial justice, it also obscured Forrest County's brutal racial history. Patricia Michelle Boyett explores the mob lynchings, police brutality, malicious prosecutions, and Klan terrorism in Forrest and Jones Counties.
