Reputed Klansman Nabbed for 1964 Slayings

The Associated Press/AP Online reports:

"America in 1964 was still a country divided by race, but Congress would pass the Civil Rights Act and the world would honor Martin Luther King Jr. with the Nobel Peace Prize. But there was still trouble between blacks and whites - angry words, sometimes more.

James Chaney, a 21-year-old black man, and two white men - Andrew Goodman, 20, and Michael Schwerner, 24 - were shot to death that year, working for the cause. Their killer was never caught. Now, 41 years later, a reputed member of the Klan, Edgar Ray Killen, is in custody for the slayings. "
