In May 1964, Henry Hezekiah Dee and Charles Eddie Moore, two African American teenagers, became the first victims of Freedom Summer when they were kidnapped by members of the KKK. Taken into the Homochitto National Forest and tortured, they were driven to Parker's Landing, Louisiana, weighed down, and thrown into an old section of the Mississippi River alive. In 2007, one of the Klansmen testified against James Ford Seale in exchange for immunity. U.S. Attorney Dunn Lampton successfully prosecuted Seale, who was sentenced to three life sentences.
