	Biography of Michael Schwerner
		Schwerner became the first white civil rights worker to be permanently based outside of the capitol of Jackson.
		It is not surprising that the first thing Schwerner wanted to do when he returned from Ohio with Chaney and Goodman on June 21 was to return to Longdale and meet with those who had been beaten and lost their church as a result of his efforts on their behalf.
		Schwerner was the second of two sons of a father who operated a wig manufacturing plant and a mother who taught high school biology.

		The two of them, Schwerner and Goodman, arrived in Merdian in late January 1964 and Mickey Schwerner was instantly involved in leading strikes, pickets in front of local stores that clearly discriminated, and he also established a community center in Meridian and began working to register fls to vote.
		Schwerner was targeted because he had instantly become a major force for social change -- that one man and his wife had achieved a number of great successes in the middle of Mississippi, and so for Bowers, Schwerner was an antichrist.
