NEBRASKA UNION AUDITORIUM, FRI 3PM
Civil Rights Group Founder Ben Chaney to Speak at UNL
Ben Chaney, founder and president of the nonprofit civil rights James Earl Chaney Foundation, will speak on civil rights, human rights and social justice at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on Nov. 4. Chaney's talk is free and open to the public and will begin at 3 pm in the auditorium of the Nebraska Union, 1400 R St.
Born in Meridian, Miss., in 1952, Chaney grew up in the civil rights movement and was arrested in nonviolent demonstrations more than 21 times before he was 12 years old. Chaney was supposed to accompany his brother, James Earl Chaney, when the latter was murdered in 1964 along with Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner by the Ku Klux Klan trying to register African Americans at Mississippi voting polls. The bodies of the civil rights martyrs were recovered after 44 days in an earthen dam. The tragic events surrounding this case are the subject of the movies Murder In Mississippi and Mississippi Burning.
From that incident, Chaney gained a burning desire to fight for the rights of oppressed people. He established the James Earl Chaney Foundation in 1998 to honor the sacrifices of the civil rights activists by helping create the next generation of civil rights leadership. More information about the foundation is online at their web site.
His talk at UNL is sponsored by the Office of Academic Affairs.
