    Scottsboro Boys Essay

    Perhaps, what is most unjust is how long it took for justice to actually be served. Eugene Williams, Roy Wright, Willie Robertson, and Olen Montgomery were the first of the nine to be released from prison. However, the same evidence that freed these four condemned the other five. Until now, there had been a national understanding that either all nine boys were innocent or guilty. Instead, there was split that left people lacking faith in the Alabama state government. The admission of the innocence of these boys raised questions such as why they had been in prison for six years if there innocence was so clear. It would take more than forty years for the last Scottsboro boy, Clarence Norris, to be pardoned by Alabama.…

    Black Men & Public Space

Just when the darkest street approached I saw a man standing by the side as if he was waiting for me to come. My heart started to beat faster and faster as I was walking towards him and my hands were suddenly sweating, I tried to focus myself on the light at the end of the street and walk by him discreetly but my fear was so obvious that I couldn’t help but run and hold my purse tight to my chest.
