Justice delayed is justice denied
For those of us aware of our history, we know that, far too often, the crimes against people pursuing civil rights for all, including murder, have been allowed to go on without most involved ever being brought to justice. In many cases, it was well-known who committed the crimes but, in juries comprised of friends and like-minded people, killers were often allowed to, literally, get away with murder.
So, while nothing new is here, it is interesting to see USA Today run a piece on why so many Civil Rights era killings went unprosecuted. It was clear that, particularly in the period from 1954-1968, many of these crimes went uninvestigated, much less acted upon.
Well, I am sure that USA Today is only running this piece because it’s Black History Month but, at least, they are will to deal with a piece of Black history that is a little more challenging to the thinking than the standard fare offered this time of year.
