What I learnt from "Mississippi Burning"

     "Mississippi Burning" depicts a real-life murder of civil rights workers in Mississippi. After the three were reported missing, two FBI agents are sent to investigate the incident. 
      From  "Mississippi Burning", I learnt about how the African Americans in America were treated in the 1960s, when they were segregated from the others. This is racial segregation, and I feel that such a racism is extremely bad for the whole country. I strongly believe that everyone should be treated equally, regardless of their race, age or gender. By doing so, a country can then achieve harmony and peace. The 1960s period in America shows that there is no harmony or peace, since there was always scenes of burning houses and churches.
