See what 'kill him' does in American History in reference to a Black man.
The flames of George Wallace that Congressman Lewis is speaking of is Emmett
Till who died because a white woman. A white woman misused her power. Period.
Emmett Till would have been 67. He was lynched when we was 14. Is it really
that far way?
Screaming 'kill him' has a visceral response in Black America. If you don't
see it, that is amnesia that keeps America to living up to her potential.
Learn more about Emmett Till and the civil rights movement. And if you aren't
interested, and voted for Goldwater then this is why we are stuck since MLK was
assassinated as a Nation and gee I wonder why I am so offended?
