Backwards Road for African Americans

      I had posted awhile ago about Martin Luther King and this sort of thing again makes people wonder about the problems with White Supremasists in government. There is a pattern of black men being executed and being denied DNA testing to prove their innocence, especially in Southern states. This article asserts that this man was convicted based on testimony of a cousin of one of the defendants who pointed to other men first, and by a jailhouse informant who later recanted his story. Still, Mississippi's Supreme Court rejected all his pleas for DNA evidence to be tested and used that was collected that may have proven him innocent.  I hope that this issue will be brought up at the federal level at some point. There is of course also a huge problem in Arizona with the same sort of government and the Hispanic population and how they are handling citizenship there, and there has been for quite awhile.
