Biography

Psychologist. A clinical psychologist and civil rights advocate, Dr. Goodman came to national attention in the wake of the murder of her son Andrew, one of three civil rights workers murdered in Mississipi in the summer of 1964 as part of Freedom Summer, a campaign to register black voters there. This event, as had the murder of Emmett Till nine years before, shocked the nation and served as a catalyst for the Civil Rights movement, in this case helping to inspire Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s march from Selma to Montgomery in 1965 and passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Dr. Goodman remained a political presence throughout her life and again came to national attention during the trial in 2005 of Edgar Ray Killen, who was acquitted of murder but found guilty of manslaughter in the deaths of her son and his two co-workers, James Chaney and Michael Schwerner.
