1. God i hope so....
Apparently there were more people involved in the murder of a 14 year old child than the original three or four men who were tried and acquitted by an all white jury.....
Ahhhh, money, miss. in the 1950's

rest in peace little brother

2. I don't think it will do any good in a Bush Crime Family Justice Dept.
You see the Republicans don't screw over their own, the democrats do.
You see the democrats continue to fight the "War on Drugs" despite the fact it harms the same minority groups that vote for us.

4. So still nothing for emmet....
our loss

Who would emmet be today?

What did he want to be when he grew up?

What would he look like?

Who would he love?

Children? Grandchildren? Great Grandchildren?

Right down to any dog he would have adopted from the pound... we lost out!

3. Most whites were guilty.
Every white who felt joy at the brutal lynchings that epitomized the south was a murderer at heart. That stain is still upon this country and defines its character. Whites need to do a lot of self-examination and make amends by fighting for justice.
