Author and speaker, Susan Klopfer, is an award-winning journalist and former development and acquisitions editor for Prentice Hall. Her computer book, Abort! Retry!

Susan lived on the grounds of Parchman Penitentiary where she researched and wrote her Mississippi books. Of the Till video, she writes,

"Can you guess the names and faces? Look for Fannie Lou Hamer, Amzie Moore, Aaron Henry, Megar Evers -- all tried to learn what had happened to the Chicago school youngster who was murdered in the Mississippi Delta in August of 1955. Also look for juke joints, the Leflore County Courthouse, the Tallahatchie River and other important sites, including the grocery store in Money, Miss., where Emmett whistled at a store clerk.
