The Rosewood massacre was a racially motivated massacre of black people and destruction of a black town that took place during the first week of January 1923 in rural Levy County, Florida.At least six black people and two white people were killed, though eyewitness accounts suggested a higher death toll of 27 to 150. He fails to note that the Bureau had not done much in the South to protect blacks, or that its director, Herbert Hoover, viewed the civil rights movement suspiciously (the dialogue does, however, mention Hoover's belief that Martin Luther King was under the influence of communists).

But, in basing his film on an actual and significant historical event, Parker invites scrutiny over details and concern for authenticity. The victims were James Chaney from Meridian, Mississippi, and Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner from New York City.

The three men had traveled from Meridian to the community of Longdale to talk with congregation members at a black church that had been burned. You've struck a blow for the white man. Schlimmer ist, daß Parkers effekthascherische Regie so ziemlich alles tut, um „Mississippi Burning“ in den Abklatsch eines Gangsterfilms zu verwandeln.

As in the film, Schwerner wore a goatee; FBI agents found the missing car in marshy terrain with help from a Choctaw Indian; and busloads of Naval personnel arrived at the scene to help search for the bodies.

"Mississippi Burning" surveys the geography of racism, sheds light on the dark night of the soul. Greg Iles has always been one of my favorite authors but he is definitely at the top of my list now.

In 1923, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People stated "the Negro feels that life is not safe in Mississippi and his life may be taken with impunity at any time upon the slightest pretext or provocation by a white man".
