==Legacy and honors== {{Main|Murders of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner#Legacy and honors}} [[File:Goodman Cheney and Schwerner Murder Site Marker.jpg|thumb|right|300px|State of Mississippi roadside marker denoting the location where the 1964 murders of American civil rights workers Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner took place]] In 1966, Andrew's parents, Robert and Carolyn Goodman started The Andrew Goodman Foundation to carry on the spirit and purpose of their son's life. After the death of Robert Goodman in 1969, Carolyn continued the work of the Foundation, focusing on projects like a reverse march to Mississippi and a 25th Anniversary Memorial. The memorial, which took place at St. John The Divine Church in NYC, was attended by 10,000 people and was presided by [[Mario Cuomo|Governor Mario Cuomo]], [[Maya Angelou]], [[Pete Seeger]], [[Aaron Henry (politician)|Aaron Henry]], [[Harry Belafonte]], and others closely associated with the Civil Rights Movement. After Carolyn's death in August 2007, David Goodman, Andrew's younger brother, and Sylvia Golbin Goodman, David's wife, took up the work of the Foundation. For nearly 50 years, the organization was a private foundation acting in the public interest. With their eyes set on the future, the Board of Trustees of The Andrew Goodman Foundation elected to turn the organization into a public charity in 2012. In 2014, on the fiftieth anniversary of the murders, the Foundation officially launched Vote Everywhere program designed to support college students who are continuing the work of Freedom Summer. ===Goodman=== * In 2002, a 2,176-foot peak in the [[Adirondack Mountains]] town of [[Tupper Lake (town), New York|Tupper Lake]], New York, was officially named Goodman Mountain in Goodman's memory.
