Ronald Reagan
In 1980, Ronald Reagan launched his campaign for the Republican nomination in Philadelphia, Miss., at a fairground used as a meeting place for the KKK and other racist groups. This was also the part of the state where, in 1964, civil rights workers Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner and James Chaney were killed, but Reagan never mentioned the regions racist past.
