Lynching went on into the early 60's, that's two lifetimes ago, 50 years. "Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it." Here's a tip for every young person out there who values freedom, and one's friends of all colors. It's time to get registered to www.rockthevote.org, because the price of freedom was very expensive to attain.
There was actually a time when people didn't leave their homes after the 6pm, or 7pm sunset for fear of what might be lurking around the corner, or in the pines. See the indexed tables, and remember the cost of freedom is a vote to continue the pursuit of love, & happiness, and maybe a descent minimum wage.
