Hendrickson focused on the sheriffs in this picture, taken in 1962 as James Meredith fought to integrate Ole Miss. Using personal interviews over years, FBI documents and recordings, and court records, Hendrickson digs into the history of police corruption in MS, collaboration between John and Robert Kennedy and the governor of MS, and targeting of civil rights activists.
