Susan Klopfer worked as an award-winning journalist in Missouri and Texas, and as an acquisitions and development editor for Prentice Hall. She holds an MBA degree from Indiana Wesleyan University, and a BA degree in Communication from Hanover College. She is the author of Where Rebels Roost, Mississippi Civil Rights Revisited; The Emmett Till Book; How Branson [Missouri] Got Started; plus Abort! Retry! Fail! The Computer Answer Book, a Book-of-the-Month Club alternate selection. Recently, she lived for two years on the grounds of Mississippi’s historical Parchman Penitentiary, built at the turn of the century. From this location, in the heart of the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta, she collected modern-day civil rights stories that are fast dying with the story tellers. Visiting regional archives, libraries and museums, she discovered the Delta's unique history and countless unpublished details regarding the murders of Emmett Till and others. Using her journalistic talents, Susan uncovered the 1966 uninvestigated murders of two older Delta women, Birdia Keglar and Adlena Hamlett, targeted by Ku Klux KIansmen for their activist roles in promoting voter registration in Tallahatchie County and for speaking out on the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Susan is currently investigating the murder of a Delta civil rights lawyer, Cleve McDowell, who was killed in 1997; within six months of his death, all of McDowell's investigative papers were burned in a mysterious office fire. McDowell had focused on the murder of young Emmett Till, maintaining a life-long relationship with Till's mother, who also was born in the Delta. Where Rebels Roost features: "But more important are the stories of some very unique, persevering and brave people--stories that deserve to be told. I hope you enjoy this read as much as I've enjoyed writing it. Who should read this book? Genealogists, historians, history buffs, teachers, students, civil rights activists and followers, anyone who loves a fascinating story." Susan Klopfer " ... an absorbing and substantial work that speaks in many provocative ways ..." Lois Brown, director of the Weissman Center for Leadership and Liberal Arts, Mount Holyoke College "Susan Klopfer is determined to tell the truth about Mississippi and about America ... Klopfer follows the money, showing how the lines of culpability lead into the offices of New York industrialist Wycliffe Draper, whose Pioneer Fund fueled Mississippi's fight against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and provided millions of dollars for the private academies, established to keep white children out of integrated schools after Brown v. Board of Ed. (More recently, the Pioneer Fund financed the research for the controversial book, The Bell Curve, a best selling, racist tract published in 1994.)" ... Ben Greenberg, poet, essayist and activist and author of the blog Hungry Blues "An amazing achievement. By far the most comprehensive guide to Mississippi's unsolved civil rights murders." - Tom Head, Mississippi activist and About.com Guide to Civil Liberties

JACKSON, Miss. — As an African-American teenager in Louisiana, Keith Beauchamp tried interracial dating - behaviour that prompted his parents to tell him the grisly tale of Emmett Till, who was murdered for whistling at a white woman.
The story of Till, a 14-year-old from Chicago who had come to Mississippi to visit his uncle in August 1955, was seared into Beauchamp's mind and, when he moved to New York to begin his career as a filmmaker, the slaying was his first major project.
Beauchamp's 2005 documentary on Till, in large part, led the federal government to reopen the 1955 murder case. Last year, a grand jury

(JACKSON, MS; April 8, 2008) – Based on evidence that Steven Hayne, who conducts 80% of autopsies in Mississippi, has committed fraud and misconduct that sent an unknown number of innocent people to prison, the Innocence Project and the Mississippi Innocence Project today filed a formal allegation to revoke his license to practice medicine in Mississippi.

Stuart Wexler and Larry Hancock, authors of an upcoming book, "Seeking Armageddon: The Effort to Kill Martin Luther King Jr.," are exploring evidence that members of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Mississippi were involved."It's becoming more and more evident they had the motive, the means and the opportunity to assassinate Dr. King, and in fact, that had been a major goal of theirs for years," Wexler said.
Some proof can be found in FBI and Miami police documents that suggest White Knights members may have helped jam Memphis police radios when King was shot on April 4, 1968.
Vivian is among civil rights leaders gathering today in Memphis to remember
King and to sign their support for legislation that would create a Justice Department unit aimed at solving the unpunished killings from the civil rights era.
