These are two of the participants (Cecil Price is the one on the left, the one on the right is the sheriff) in the 1964 Neshoba County murders of the three civil rights workers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_civil_rights_worker_murders). The movie Mississippi Burning is about that case, albeit somewhat fictionalized--the FBI wasn't nearly that concerned.
The above picture was turned into a poster with the sarcastic slogan "Support Your Local Sheriff" in the '60s.
