In the movie Mississippi burning Gene Hatcher is a investigater for the CSI and is going to Mississippi for a consperisy that happened where a black person from the north was driving through Mississippi and then all of a sudden dissapearred and when he was investigating no person in the state was cooperating with him while they were asking questions about the inciedent. All the white people would be saying the same story or tell him to forget about it and go back home because he is never going to solve the case down here. Also in the movie when he goes to the black villiages and homes after he left or if word got out that he would be going to visit to question about anything the kkk would go to the villages and start to burn down the villages and run the black people out of the town or get them so scared that they would not talk because they feared for their life because if they did talk they made treats that tehy would kill them and also they burned crosses in front of Genes charactors hotel and stuff where he was stay as a notion to get out of town. This relates to Zinns drawing the color line because it has them treatening the black people and also it kind of relates to Johnson when he said it is not what we dont know that we are afraid of but what we know we are afraid of because they were afraid of change and that if anyone found out that he was killed by the kkk this would spark something unbarable to the south and they would have to change and adopt the way of standards of accepting people, for who they are not what they look like and what race they are. also it shows that the influence in the south of the richer had their way and showed that the south is controlling and racist because of the privillaged few that made laws and regulations.
