Mississipi Goddam is a song released in Nina Simone album:  Nina Simone in Concert.

The song captures Simone's response to the murder of Medgar Evers in Mississippi; and the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, killing four black children. It's one of her most famous protest songs and self-written compositions.  Simone introduce "Mississippi Goddam" as "a show tune, but the show hasn't been written for it, yet." The song does indeed sound like a show tune making Simone’s audience letting their  guard down just long enough for the anger of it's message to show. She starts the song by saying  "Alabama’s gotten me so upset, Tennessee’s made me lose my rest."  Clearly talking about the events previously mentionned, she show's her anger with no filter.  Then she attacks the whole state of Mississipi with the sentence "And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam." "Goddam" could be used as a scold or an expression of her exasperation. The state had easily deserved both after decades of cruelty and violence against it's African-American citizens.

Mississipi Burning is a movie directed by Alan Parker and inspired from real events. Based on a true story, the film takes place in 1964 in a small town ugly and virulent with racism.
Mississippi Burning is a gruesome reminder of some of the pain and hardship that African Americans in the South dealt with because of their skin color. If your skin color was anything other than white, then you were classified as dirty, impure, ugly, and all the degrading names you can find. Having colored skin subjected you to racism and hate crimes as portrayed by the sheriffs and the Ku Klux Klan’s in the movie.
When a group of civil rights workers goes missing in a small Mississippi town, FBI agents Alan Ward (Willem Dafoe) and Rupert Anderson (Gene Hackman) are sent in to investigate. Local authorities refuse to cooperate with them, and the African American community is afraid to, precipitating a clash between the two agents over strategy. As the situation becomes more volatile, the direct approach is abandoned in favor of more aggressive, hard-line tactics. Quickly the interrogations and the intimidation methods of Alan Ward et Rupert Anderson start to bother people such as the town's residents, the local police and more especially the Klu Klux Klan.
There's this one line from the movie that I really like and it says ‘Hatred isn’t something you’re born with. It gets taught.' I think it is really something actual, it is still applicable in today's society.
The movie was shot in Mississippi and Alabama and had a budget of 15 million dollars.
The film was successful when it was released in December 1988 but faced problems after the film had been studied by Civil Rights activists and those who sought to accurately portray the history of the Mississippi Burning case. In the debate over how Mississippi Burning was received by viewers, critics wanted to establish the fine line between how history happens and how pop culture views historical events.
Mississippi Burning was nominated 12 times and won 5 awards for its actors,
phtography and its music.
