SEEKING CIVIL RIGHTS VICTIMS’ NEXT OF KIN
As part of the Civil Rights-Era Cold Case Initiative, and in accordance with the “Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act,” the FBI is currently re-assessing more than 100 unsolved or inadequately solved racially motivated homicides from the civil rights era. The FBI intends to notify the victims’ families of the results of the investigation. Unfortunately, however, due to the passage of time and the migration of many families, the FBI has been unable to identify the next of kin for victims in 33 cases. The names and circumstances of these victims have been released in hopes that the public may be able to provide information that can assist the FBI in locating surviving family members.
CONTACT: If you have any information concerning next of kin for any of these victims, please contact your local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.
