Mississippi is America: We Knew They Might be Killed is a commemorative installation marking the 25th anniversary of the murders of James Chaney age 21, Andrew Goodman, age 20 and Michael Schwerner age 24, who were working to register black voters in Meridian, Mississippi. Originally created as a site specific installation at AIR Gallery in New York's Soho, the project was traveled by the Jewish Museum, New York, for several years in an exhibition entitled Bridges and Boundaries: African Americans and American Jews.
