@JackieWoodson Well deserved! I love your work and on Read Across America Day on March 2, I read one of my faves, “Each Kindness” to a group of first graders! That book moves me and all who hear it every time! Thanks!

After surviving this near lynching and being released from prison, James Cameron founded four NAACP chapters in Indiana, authored hundreds of essays on civil rights and a 1982 memoir, and opened America’s Black Holocaust Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
On this day in 1930, a white mob lynched 2 Black teenagers in Indiana, and nearly lynched a 3rd, 16-year-old James Cameron. Though the lynching was photographed, no one was ever held accountable. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. https://t.co/LUMKXKuwDC

On this day in 1959, a Black man named Mack Charles Parker was killed by a white mob in Mississippi. No one was ever prosecuted. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. https://t.co/T74aSuzil8
