- On September 25, 1961, Louis Allen witnessed a powerful state legislator shoot and kill a black man. After Allen decided to tell the truth about what he saw, he was killed. Allen’s unsolved murder spurred thousands of white college students to come to Mississippi in the Freedom Summer of 1964.

Being a black man or woman in the south must have felt like dead man walking. They had no protection at all.
That's why my mother didn't like to talk about Jim Crow era Mississippi. She didn't even want to relive it through the memories.
Still don’t
Little has changed.
This is America
And that's also why many black people moved from the south and relocated
‘We’re you in The Klan?’....’I plead the fifth’ translates to YES
BINGO !! I've said the same as you in an earlier comment.
Exactly.
He might get away with on this earth but he will have a day of reckoning. And he is not getting any younger.
Right..
The FBI killed him when they didn't put him in witness protection and they ratted him out to the local police department case solved
Exaactly
THEY NOT EXEMPT EITHER IN THE EYES OF GOD IN JESUS NAME.
The FBI didn’t give a s…hit
J. Edgar Hoover hated Black people. Do you think he would allocate resources to help convict a white man klansmen. No.
My father is from Missisppi close to the town where 'Emmet Till' was murdered he came north in the early 50's. He never returned to Mississippi and he never thought once of taking his children to that state, R.I.P. Louis Allen!
Y'all still at it with DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS IN BFLO NY GET IT OFF MY SON AND I
A WWII veteran, but all these racists saw was the color of his skin.
A black man who fought for a country where he couldn't live in Peace .
Fred A they treated the veterans even worse for having the nerve to put the uniform on.
America's got no problem using black people to fight wars for a nation that hates them.
I get what you’re trying to say, but you’re presupposition is off centered. Your statement places some negative implication on the color of ‘his skin’.
Drew Breese needs to see this and maybe he will understand.
This is the what America was built on .
@mik rof And you probably thought that was clever. Pffft.
No, I don’t agree with you. There are always angles among every community and there are bad apples among every community as well. Sometimes the bad apples may get power and destroy people secretly or openly. In the US at least everything is in records, who did that, nearly every crimes has been investigated who did that? The white angles did that and make America great.
@@geelleguure8808 bad apples?the constitution was written by bad apples.The doctrine of exclusion of 1638 was written by bad apples.The conclusion is this country was developed by racist white supremacist.Bad apples!!!!
@@geelleguure8808 Damn these white Angel's need to do a better job of getting justice for people!
Amen.
Louis is my great-granduncle. I remember hearing about this story as a kid but now that I'm old enough I've finally watched this, it's insane to see how this all unfolded.
I remember riding through Liberty coming from the Louisiana side going up that highway to Brookhaven, Jackson.
Wow!!! So sorry that happened to your family member. I think he might be related to me too. I'm an Allen. My grandfather's name was George Allen and his father's name was Joe Allen who would have been my great-grandfather. I believe that Louis may have been one of my great grandfather's Brothers . I'm still researching my family tree and my family was born around those parts in Mississippi. It was a lot of us so I'm sure there is a connection somewhere. This is sad for the Allen clan.. he favors my grandfather George Allen senior. I'm going to do some more research.
So sorry. I see why my family moved north in the 1920s. Now we all moving back. Our country has many many issues. We talk about Russia and China and Mexico but look at us
Lier
So very sad for your great uncle. He was a man of honor! You should be very proud
Just 52yrs ago…. But “they” will tell you to “just forget about the past” smh
The blood of the black man cries out from ground of the American continent.
😥😥😥
John Gilmore Mississippi is a hypocrisy within itself
SAY IT!
This is so heartbreaking to me.... How heartless .😢😢😢 blacks dident even want to be here they were forced to come and be mistreated ? It is so unfair . some people have no humanity , companion nor empathy..... 😥
All will be avenged.
This is why we are angry. This is why we protest. This is why BLACK LIVES MATTER. R.I.P. Louis Allen
TRUTH!!!!!! 📌
Reopen!!
That's The Truth.. Real Facts.
2Duv4Luv, you losers are not making any difference to anybody,you are angry, because you are too lazy to get a job and virtual signal all day wasting your life, in yo momma's basement. You will never do anything in life.
Everyone matters
Such a hard thing to watch but it's the very least we can do. To listen to these stories and remember these victims of systemic racism. I pray they get justice and find peace.
1960!!! 1 year later I was born! I know I am lucky to be alive, along with everyone in my family before me. This is why I teach my grandkids.
This video is a perfect example of the corruption in America
It ain't. The corruption is ACTUALLY much worse. It's so bad in fact it would be seriously dishonest to define it by systemic racism.
This is in the beginning on the movie life
Reopen!!
@Michael Sweeney popm
@K B, you are a perfect example of a super racist loser punk.
The fbi can find Tom Brady’s stolen jersey but can’t solve this case? Ok😏
Actually the Brady case was broke by a kid researching sports paraphernalia online. He ended up contacting a collector in Mexico who had an amazing collection of American football jerseys many of which seemed to match up to numerous stolen jerseys. He forwarded this information to the fbi.... You know the rest...
buddhafyre There was video of the guy who went into the locker room and took it and they later identified him. Although his back was to the camera they ended up finding out who it was but the teen you’re speaking of was doing business with the guy previously. I know the story 🥱
Brooooo hold this 🏆
PREACH!
Wasn't trying
This story is so heartbreaking RIP Mr Allen
I hope he gets justice one day
Louis Allen's son saw his father dead as a child. No child (now a man), should have to live with that after over 40 years. It's time for closure for Louis Allen and his family, and someone should put their pride aside and tell the truth. They're not solving nothing as they continue to get older.
Jones said a mouthful when he said "the truth has a way of slipping out; so I don't have anything to say!"
-His guilt spilled out.
You smart,you caught that!!
That mouth kept running
Exactly he just told on his self.. Plead the 5th SMH. guilt for sure.. Folks scare to talk.. How you going to take another black man to do your dirty work.. Just 😥
Exactly still your Father. Just 😥
Took another black man to try n frame him i think..realised he couldnt get him to do it n did it thinkin maybe he will get linked to it. Shocked he didn't falsely put charges on him instead guess he didn't see the need too he gt away w it
Rest in peace Lewis Allen.
May they never find peace.
There no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked. Isaiah 48:22
Wait till Jehovah get to them !! Irie ! Brethren
I love that quote
Their children, grandchildren and down the blood line.
Thank you for keeping these cases alive. The Sheriff being the number one suspect, so pathetic.This always haunts generations of those who commit these crimes. There's consequences for everything. You can be hateful as you like but all turn into dust and none greater than the other in death.
Mr. Michael Jackson was right, “THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT US”.Mr Allen was a BLACK HERO.
🤣
Imagine a man who had his own back then what we can do now
The strength of that man to walk by his fathers killers every day. You can tell he walks just as much with dignity and respect for his person as his father did in life.
He honestly should have done something
Strength or Cowardice?
@@EdenSophia118 strength......because if he was a coward ( like those still living) he'd be just like them. It takes an enormous amount of courage especially in the deep south......especially in Mississippi......to talk about openly what the powers to be in that town want to keep covered. As his son I pray God's protection over him and his family. Mississippi and other states even where I live(Indiana) has the blood of murdered black men and women who dared to speak up in their soil.
@@pamworly8923 Very well said.
@@EdenSophia118 everybody doesn't have killer instinct they'll want to but the heart won't allow it NO SHAME
Louis Allen was man of conscience and brave. He did the right thing. He and his family deserve justice.
Local, state and federal law agencies did not give this WWii veteran justice. What a SHAME!!!! There are numerous stories of such! Where is the conscience of the town folks? We still live in society of colorism. Black folks still fighting for human and civil rights. I'm 73 and still fighting for JUSTICE! America doesn't feel it needs to do BETTER. I still studying American history and the more I study it, read and analyze it, the more it stays the same. Just descendants keeping practiced and policies ALIVE 2022. I have a passion for HIS TORY. The truth will set MANKIND free wherever he or she finds oneself. Thank you for this story. My prayers goes to The Allen Family and last but not least Ericka (America), born here
@@endernight1695 now they tell black people to snitch 🤦♂️
I can't understand why people would live in an environment with so much blatant hate.
@@jamesjones4309 damn I was having this same conversation with my dad
@@jamesjones4309where could they go to? They could not leave with no money. No vehicle etc.
reporter:" You know sheriff this can get cleared by using a lie detector test" former sheriff: "well it's not going to get cleared up then"..... Cold as ice.
When the man stated he lost no sleep over the death of Louis Allen that pretty much sums up their feelings. Even today it's so clear. These small towns whether northern or Southern secrets have away of coming out. And I don't blame people for not trusting the fbi
people remember the murders of the three Civil rights workers and the reluctance of the fbi to get involved. When the story went world wide only then did they get involved. Mr. Allen's son deserves the truth about his father's death. And the people who are still alive are for a reason.
These people have no soul. How can you age yet not feel any guilt or emphathy.
I believe the mistake you make is comparing them to yourself, when you should accept them for what they represent.
My thoughts exactly. Did you see the way the old guy that was sitting next to the guy that was in government glare at the reporter when he was asking ole boy those questions? That town is still full of hatred it would seem. smh
Jerry G
By “them”, are you referring to the good ol boys? If so, no one should accept what they represent.
@@dozzer009 I believe it's important to accept the reality of who and what they are, and that they you can't judge them by comparing them to the original people
Jerry G
Understood.
Besides killing him. They cut off his means to make a living. So therefore his life and that of his family was under threat too.
Exactly!
Amen
My heart breaks for all of the suffering and injustice that my brothers and sisters endured and still do, we must always acknowledge that many other killings and abuse have not come to the surface only a few are known today , rest in peace and I pray that justice will someday take place in one shape or form for all those injustices .
“The truth sometimes has a way of slipping out of you try to keep it covered up”
There will be a spiritual day of reckoning for all of these murders . What's done in the dark will surely come to the light .
Absolutely. Those that lead into captivity shall go into captivity. Book of Revelation
Surely
It's already here! No coincidence that all these unjustified killing of black people is coming to light. America has been found guilty of shedding innocent blood and her reward is the cup of wrath that shall be filled unto her double." Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her."

I agree they no better than local government if it were a white man case solved.
Then the old guy said you coming around here with your educated talking 😂😂😂😂
My admiration and respect goes out to courageous Allen for refusing to remain silent and risking his life to do the right thing. My heart goes out to his family what they had to endure.
I find it hilarious when someone says "no, I don't want to talk to you about it" then proceeds to talk to him about it.
Old people can’t help themselves but talk
@@desireeamari5454 Guilty people can't help talking either.

Classic 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️😡🤬😤😤 Nothing worse than a supposed “civil rights” agent/advocate who doesn’t believe that racism and prejudice are connected to law enforcement. She needs to resign, quickly. Civil rights agent/advocate my arse!!
Exactly
She would’ve lost her job. Questioning law enforcement at any point in time with no evidence would’ve shown bias. Getting a job in the FBI you can’t cater to feelings and project answers from it.
She’s a coward like most white peoples with her mind set.
CulturedCutie313 I fully agree with you. But she did seem scared to answer it honestly
She may fought in Afghan or wherever but when it comes to dangerous connected white “mean” men, no way. She knows she will be put in a lake with gators and stuff.
Someone needs to be held accountable.
Reopen!!
You missed the whole damn thing,yes someone does but no one will😏
It will be once he’s dead and gone that’s when they will investigate
thank you for your service Mr. Allen. Rest in peace
Sounds like the only justice that will be found in this case, is if someone met that murdering POS at his gate, in the middle of the night, just like he met Mr. Allen at his.
This is so painful
I'm sorry 😞

I’ll bet money if someone had killed that sheriff’s father he’d make sure that a thorough investigation had been conducted. And he wouldn’t have allowed anyone to tell him that the truth will never be told.
They would have hung a bm even if the evidence showed a wm killed his father.
"I'm talking more than I need to. The truth sometimes has a way of slippin out of you try to keep it covered up." Uuuum excuse me?👀
There are so many cases I never learned about in school. Shame that it was all so watered down and sanitized.
These cases are definitely kept secret. I’m in my 40’s and heard about this story about five years ago. I grew up in Liberty and and remember seeing that sheriff from time to time. I helped repair some plumbing at his house about sixteen years ago smh
This man reminds me of my dad. He wore overalls and a straw hat. He fought in WW2. He was born in 1917, he’d be 103 years if he was alive. He was not afraid of the white man either.
So proud of his son and others who continue to say Louis Allen's name and fight for justice!
This country has a lot blood and sins on it's hands. How can the government talk about other countries?
Thanks 60 MINUTES for calling it out!
I’ll tell you these stories make me more upset. This is crazy all these years no one will tell the truth.
Why do you think a rural conservative town with a history of racism would ever expose one of their own?

1 John 4:7-8
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Proverbs 12:22
The Lord hates liars, but is pleased with those who keep their word.
John 8:44
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Would you confess to a crime that has no statute of limitations
*If EVERYONE is saying the sheriff played a role in Louis Allen's death or actually killed him on top of the fact that he's unwilling to take a lie detector test further let me know he's GUILTY. It's amazing how the town is still supporting the sheriff's actions all these years later. Do the right thing and give that man family some closure - even if the sheriff is convicted, he's not gonna live much longer.*
IF! The Sheriff is guilty. Then he is already convicted, he is in his own prison. 🇯🇲
@@OC1621. what a quaint idea. But it's bullsh*t. Just another example of American injustice.
What got me was that FBI agent trying to keep a poker face trying to explain why they didn't give Louis Allen witness protection.But then I thought, back then J.Edgar Hoover was running FBI. Even though I was a small child then I heard his name sometimes in adult conversations, and nothing good was said about him, and how he stayed on MLK neck, like a vendetta. So I knew he wouldn't have signed any order of protection for Louis Allen. He was racist. I was also surprised when I was grown, to see J. Edgar Hoover's name sprawled across the FBI headquarters. I thought with all those statues taken down, of racist generals, they were still glorifying his name. Well, that's them. But when this FBI women got to where she was asked what they did next with Louis Allen confidential info. She kept the poker face, but her eyes got huge like she hoped what she was about to say would clear them. As soon as she said they turned it over to local police, I knew they had signed his death warrant, then. They knew every officer in Mississippi, back then was racist, so she can dismiss me with the clueless look.
...AND THE BAND PLAYS ON, ON, ON
Are you surprised???
White people stay on code no matter how long it's been. They're still protecting the woman who was responsible for Emmit Till's death even after they found an old warrant for her arrest.
Telling him to tell local police was tantamount to selling him out! To say that was doing something about it is a cruel joke.
imagine passing on the info to the local police. Thats basically a death sentance. FBI should be helt accountable for that. Mississippi Burning comes to mind!
That woman FBI agent does not give any measure of confidence she intended to pursue anything other than lip service. What crock and BS rationalizing she just kept giving.
I thought I was the only viewer who noticed that.
I bet all those cases not one will get solved. She getting tax payer dollars just to move paper around. And she doesn't act like she knows what she is doing.
My thoughts exactly
Thought the same thing,these people are evil we can't trust them.she's only doing to say they are bullcrap
In this country, we’ve had at least four hangings, 1 Latino and 3 Black, all ruled suicide before completed investigations. Now, what/who is she looking for again? Man, these people don’t give a rip!!! They want depopulation!!!
May all the people of Mississippi (that keep such heinous secrets) suffer the pain their secrets have generated.
They're all almost dead now yet those thoughts and ways are being passed down
I find it funny to hear certain people think that racists are all dead and so are their ideals.

That's because the ones who use to hide under hoods and robes now operate behind a badge. So that supposedly makes the murders justified.

I saw hipocracy and read this as I was growing up in New York. History and current events just MOVED as me as a younger. Neighbors used to call me Churchchill. Radio, TV, magazines, newspapers and neighbors would gather in our apartment discussing daily news events. All had moved north from deep south. Many stories continue to be told. Where do we Go from here? You tell me? January 6, White House RIOT says a mouthful. Racism at all time HIGH! Who is trying to fix it? I'm 73 years old. Will I see fixing it in a life time? I'm a visionary. I got the answer, it's a profound answer! It's not meant to be fixed. Could it be amending The Constitution? Does anyone know? Awaiting!
They know what their doing when they do stuff like that. It's called muddying the water, making it difficult for REAL law enforcement to bring their buddies to justice. How can you not know things would get worse if you tell the perpetrators who told on them? It was intentionally done to let them know they needed to permanently silence the victims. That only works for awhile cause here we are decades later hearing about it and you know who is going to pay hard prices for their crimes? Their descendants.
@@endernight1695 I'm a 53 yr old raised in the deep south. Greed, power, conceit, envy, jealousy, and racist theology cannot be legislated out of a person's belief system. Laws only deal with the results of those characteristics. Every crime is a result of 1or more of those elements. In my opinion, those who hold the deciding vote intentionally perpetuate division among the citizens. This technique creates thousands of useless bureaucratic jobs, elections and voting systems that are meant to make people believe they are involved in the law making process. Again, all of this stems from those character traits I mentioned in the beginning of the paragraph.
Amazing journalism !!!

This lady knows that FBI and Sherif department killed that man.
Yeah like she don't want to say nothing but she needs to stop working there
I work at a nursing home. One of the elderly patients I worked with often, we loved to chat. He was African American. He was such a positive person. He told me he was born in Mississippi. I did the math in my head and realized the era he was living in and I said…I can’t imagine living there during those times. He knew what I meant and said somehow with no bitterness in his voice, that one day some white men with rifles showed up at their door and said to his mom, we hear you’ve been sending your children to school. I don’t remember the exact exchange after that but it ended with his mom threatening THEM with a gun (?) and it scared them off somehow, but he said after that incident is when they knew they had to move up north and so they did.
Never was a town given such an ironical name.
The FBI investigator Cynthia M. Deitle acts like a hero but I find her very questionable. When she is asked what the FBI did to protect the witness the proudly says "We told local law enforcement". So she is proud that her agency informed the potential harassers, as if that was a good thing. In this moment I find her a more than a little bit disgusting.
Is she really proud of this or am I misunderstanding her?
I concur! She suspect too.
It's almost like she can't speak ill of her agency 🤔 she kept looking to the left when answering the question..
Agreed!
I thought the same thing. She’s apart of the problem.
'The blood done sign my name' - America as a country has a lot to answer for.
That's intelligent Black communication from the Black Gods above. Don;t even worry about it. Your vibratory frequency is too low to understand.
If you can say anything about Louis Allen, he had some big balls to expose the local law enforcement like that
Everyone knows what happen and no one will ever be charged.
I went to Mississippi years ago and as soon. As soon as I got there my spirit was troubled. I felt a lot of wrongdoing had been done there. I could hear screams of those murdered there. I will never and I repeat never step foot in that state again. God will always show you things.
I felt it too. I went 10 years ago. Drove. You could feel the death and hear the cries of the murdered as you entered and drove through. Havent been back. Will never go back.
This is really troubling. The spirits won't rest and why should they! Mississippi burning!!
The one time I actually set foot in Mississippi, the birthplace of my family, I felt I had infiltrated into enemy territory. All the beautiful forest, green countryside, but all I could feel was all of our blood that had watered all that land over the decades. I couldn’t wait to get out.
It's funny...I have NEVER heard a single person in my life say, "I am going to move to Mississippi." NEVER. Like no one. I understand why. Who in their right mind would want to move to such a wretched place? Just sad.
No lie. I went through Jackson a few months back and it just felt funny. Had a vibe like it's stuck in time..
The is bs they have what they need to make an arrest now so why don’t they
How heartbreaking 💔
The FBI told local law enforcement AFTER this man expressed fear for his life.
Three years later in 1964 not too far away Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner are murdered.
This is why we say Black lives matter and Kap took a knee. Rest In Power Mr. Louis. God will Avenge.
Why will God avenge when he allowed it to happen? Strange roller logic.
@Cory Butdette Are you kin to Arthur "Cody" Jarrett?
Guns and knives avenge
This why y'all say that🤔
Blm is a joke
That last 30 seconds is so real it’s hurts.
I hope and pray to God that the killer comes out and someone gives this poor family so.e justice God bless and so sorry for the loss
Can you imagine how many Of our people have been killed and never was even noticed or reported.
The FBI referring Mr Allen the local law enforcement was signing his death sentence..
Yes ,it did.
Facts!!! They knew this!!!
That's exactly what it was. That's pure corruption in Mississippi. Just like LAPD.
Fr
This is too much for my heart.😥😥
This story is about my cousin and my grandma tells us about this story all the time when we go to Macomb and Liberty💜
Remember j edgar Hoover was the leader of the FBI back then.
Evil racist
He was the first director
Anytime before 1972 yup
What is done in darkness will come to light ... in God's time.
May God punish the evil places on this planet like Chicago and Baltimore.
Amen!!! Yes because we all have to face judgement day
@@jameylane9196 Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana.
Your God allowed this to happen in the dark,on many occasions damn near 60years ago,I don't think he's trippin
@@albrown1812 God gave each of us free will and a mind of our own. If you expect Him to intervene whenever someone is about to make a tragic decision then we have no free will of our own. If that's the case then we'll all be like the late Flip Wilson and just say "the devil made me do it" whenever we commit crimes.
Imagine how many other murders went unsolved
I feel bad for his sone. I hope they get justice
Louis Allen is a hero in my books and died as such. As a white man, I look up to him for speaking up knowing full well he'd probably die.
If that was my Dad, Daniel Jones would be a ghost now
I could not sleep until it was done.
I agree with you. To think this man is still roaming this earth free is just disgusting!
Alright tough guy,tuff talk,it's one thing to do the internet thing but a whole nother to knock noodles... I know you angry,but calm down cowboy
Blacks are so quick to forgive the whites that done us wrong but to slow to forgive each other.
@@albrown1812 Furthermore, we need to demand we be placed on juries where we can vote to acquit the accused black person no matter how much damning evidence points to their guilt. Then gaslight the family of the white victim by saying their wasn’t enough evidence to convict! The same game they play on us.
Mississippi is a whole other world. It’s not a place I would want to visit even today.
🤬🤬🤬 Unfortunately this happened more than we probably know.
And they still walking around
We need to understand and remember these awful things that happened - We must always stand up for what's right! These people lost their lives so we could live a better one today... R.I.P
Solving old cases like these are hard. Why did the FBI waited this long to do more?
The fact America has no shame in this history is concerning and questionable to say the least.
I just get angry watching this.
Man this is why we can’t get behind this system.
And now it’s not just blacks it’s other minorities too ,it baffles me ,cause this man was a WW2 vet !!! And a proud owner
Vladimir Alvarez Sadly, that doesn’t matter...
ckh937610 JAH will take care of this wicked men ...I know we all sin but to take a mans life ? I felt bad for his son ....there’s so much hatred when someone else of diff color does good for themselves ...why can’t we be proud for them ? Why hate ? Envious ? Jealousy? 🤦♂️
This system! Are you for real. You think there is hope for these hybrid beasts😂. They are already food for their God’s menu. Search out Pleidian Society and Hegelian Dialectic. Good luck hope you make it out of this Matrix...
Taharkah Re whoa!!!
Yeah this happened in a area close to where I live, it's really sad!
That side eye at 11:32 tells you everything you need to know about this town. They both know.
