Sadly, this is just one of many incidents of this type. I am glad to see the events of that awful event being documented and publised for ALL to see. Although this incident, and the famous Rosewood, FL and Tulsa, OK incidents, happened in the South, let's not forget the slightly later incidents that happened in the North and West as well.
