I have lived down south and the race relations are still bad today in 2012. I can just imagine how bad it was back in 1944. As, I read this story on the MSNBC website I was just plain ashamed of how these folks handled the case. The story by Bob Johnson was well written and needs to be heard. I also read the book about these issues that happened during that time period. Please if you have the time read the book it is very heartfelt and inspirational on their struggles to get justice for crimes committed on them. I cried when I read the book.
