[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Rosa Ingram and her teen sons were sentenced to death in 1948 after they murdered a white neighbor who attempted to sexually assault their mother.

Thanks to civil rights activists the story gained national press. They were later released on parole for being "model prisoners."

—In 1948 Rosa Lee Ingram, a sharecropper and widowed Mother of four boys, was the center of one of the most-explosive capital punishment cases in history. In 1948 in a one-day trial, Ingram and two of her teenage boys were sentenced to die by electric chair, after an altercation with a White landowner in the state of Georgia.

On November 4, 1947, the landowner reportedly confronted Ingram and three of her sons over livestock entering his land near the small town of Ellaville. John Stratford was armed with a shotgun and pocket knife when he went to have his word with Ingram. Three of Ingram’s boys overheard their mother yelling then rushed over to her armed with farm instruments. Later, the 64-year-old man was found dead by way of blows to the head according to the investigation.

In several accounts and most notably in author Janus Adams‘ “Sister Days: 365 Inspired Moments in African-American Women’s History,” it was said that Stratford struck Ingram in the head with the butt of his rifle after threatening to shoot her mules that allegedly invaded his cornfield. Other historical accounts state that according to later testimony, though, Stratford threatened Ingram with sexual assault before striking her.

Either way, Ingram and her sons, Wallace, 16, and Sammy, 14, were all convicted by an all-White jury to death; Charles, 17, was at the scene but not charged due to lack of evidence.

Although there was an investigation at the scene of the murder, it has been suggested that many who responded to the incident were not officially mandated to do so. As a result, civil rights activists from NAACP branches around the nation leaped in to action to assist Ingram and her boys.

Court-appointed White lawyer S. Hawkins Dykes was aided by the the Civil Rights Congress (CRC) and their fund-raising efforts. Although this move caused some tension with the NAACP, Ingram and her sons were able to get an appeal and their sentences were reduced to life in prison.

National Committee to Free the Ingram Family, led by Mary Church Terrell, was instrumental in continuing to fight on behalf of the Ingram family and worked alongside the CRC and NAACP to ensure their freedom. Working across class and color lines, the case was a rallying cry for women activists and attracted the attention of the media in the North.

These organizations worked tirelessly to keep Ingram’s case alive in the minds of the public, even appealing to President Harry Truman to intervene at one point.

Finally in 1959, the Ingrams were granted parole and released.
The case placed a highlight on the racist and divisive Jim Crow laws of the South and also galvanized African-American women to participate in civil rights activism.

Ms. Ingram lived in Atlanta from the time of her release in prison until her passing in 1980.

My cousin @Ankheltad hit me with a real one today:

“Everything you’ve ever touched at a high level worked… because it came from YOU.”

Yet people always try to give credit to somebody else for what I built.

Every single thing you’ve seen me do? My brainchild.

I’ve always tried to bring folks along, egoless, playing the background like I’m not the natural born leader in the room. My cousin stays telling me to pull rank… but I’d rather move in silence than force people to see what’s right in front of them.

They didn’t get it then.
Now look at them.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Scammers are stealing homes from New Yorkers — and Black and Brown homeowners are being targeted the most.

We're launching the Mayor's Office of Deed Theft Prevention, led by Director Peter White, to defend vulnerable homeowners.

And we are pausing the tax lien sale for the next six months as we review and fix a broken system.

We are using every tool at our disposal to help New Yorkers stay in their homes in the city we love.

A 15-year-old kid was beaten and shot to death at a Southeast Queens playground yesterday. And somehow this isn’t the top story. Credit to AG Letitia James & BP Richards for speaking up.

Where is everyone else, including @NYCMayor Mamdani?

Outrage shouldn’t depend on zip code. Every child deserves protection.

Call NYPD at 800-577-TIPS if you know anything.
