The trial against Edgar Ray Killen is being held in Philadelphia, Mississippi, a small town with a population of only 7,000. The KKK's reputation is one of using scare tactics and intimidation of the inhabitants of small town Mississippi in order to silence any opposition to their hate-filled agenda.

J.J. Harper, the imperial wizard of the KKK, has requested that all Klan members be at this trial.
One can only wonder what the potential jurors are feeling as they are being questioned by the attorneys for such an important trial, knowing that the KKK is standing outside the courthouse.

Please come to Philadelphia, Mississippi and support civil rights justice for those who have suffered at the hands of the KKK terrorists.

A memorial service is being held by the Philadelphia Coalition for the slain civil rights activists. The Philadelphia Coalition was formed a couple of years ago, to push for a trial against Klan-member Edgar Ray Killen. The memorial service for the three civil rights activists will be held on June 19, 2005 at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
