CNN had a segment this morning of the exhibit. They showed Prince Adrew of England with Dr. King's children viewing the pictures. Like many others, he was not able to complete the viewing.
The picture I saw where the person was hung from a bridge had me CU.
It was reported that it took alot of debate to get this exhibition a reality. There was fear that "old wounds" would open...SO FREAKING WHAT? That's the problem. Mofo's want chit swept under the rug.
I would just hope and pray that this Generation Y or Z (especially OUR kids), whatever they are being called would see these photos and understand that what happened WAS REAL. They need to realize that history "can and does" repeat itself. If they don't take themselves and life a little more seriously, anything can happen.
Oh, this one guy interviewed said that from some of the pictures, some of the whites who took part in some of the lynchings are still alive. He went on to say that information has been given to the FBI. Yet, the FBI has given them excuse after excuse as to why these people have not been brought forth for the crimes committed.
