At the same time, the growth of business productivity, or output per hour, averaged a meager 1.4% from 1980 to 1987, half the rate of the 1960s.

Only two weeks before the murders, a delegation of Mississippi activists journeyed to Washington to implore federal officials to protect the civil rights workers who were flocking into the state for the Freedom Summer. Yet despite repeated appeals to the FBI and Justice Department...
