His name was George Stinney Jr. Let us never forget his name nor his face, and let us remember that he was the victim of one of the most appalling injustices in history simply because of the color of his skin.
Remember how they killed this 14 year old child.
His crime was speaking to two white girls before they were found dead. A forced confession with no actual record of it occurring, just the sheriff’s word. Interrogated for hours with no attorney and no parent. Convicted by an all white jury in a trial that lasted just a couple hours.
