from @blackwall.st - On June 16, 1944 #GeorgeStinney 14-years-old at the time of his execution in 1944. 70 years ago, in the small town of #Alcolu, South Carolina, the young boy was killed via means of electrocution( the youngest in this century to be executed ) Stinney was so small that he had to sit on a stack of books in order to fit on the electric chair. According to NBC, Judge Carmen Mullins threw out the murder conviction, exonerating him of the crime. The African American teen was (wrongfully)convicted of the murder of two young white girls. Allegedly, he had beaten 11-year-old Betty June Binnicker and 8-year-old Mary Emma Thames to death. Back in day, the white and black neighborhoods of Alcolu were divided by railroad tracks. The girls were last seen riding their bicycles on a search for flowers. Upon passing the Stinney property, the girls asked George and his sister Katherine if they knew where to find “maypops,” a type of local flower. Several hours later, when they didn’t return home, they were announced missing, prompting the police and hundreds of locals to organize a search party. The two girls were found dead the following morning in a ditch, with severe head wounds caused by being hit repeatedly with a railroad spike. George Stinney was taken into custody the following day, where he would await an 81-day confinement period. The trial itself was all of one day. Since the Supreme Court didn’t guarantee the right to counsel yet (it was passed in 1963), Stinney was questioned in a room by himself, without his parents or an attorney present. His father fled town after being fired from his job and was forced to abandon his son and family under the threat of being lynched. The only evidence, or a lack thereof, against the young boy was from the three police officers who testified that he did indeed admit to the killings. There was no physical or DNA evidence pointing to Stinney, who received a guilty verdict after the speedy two-hour trial, with no witnesses. At 7:30 p.m. on June 16, 1944 Stinney was executed. He held a Bible under his arm when walking into the execution. #BlackPeopleYouShouldKnow #ThisWeekInBlackHistory #blackhistorymatters # https://www.instagram.com/p/By7NOOvAk6cMLmC9Nyg-B7O6t2MDvXFMkB4PGk0/?igshid=qr1n427ibyai

@Regran_ed from @michaelericdysonlegacy - Thank you for any to Dr. Dyson’s legacy @mfalme_hatari_maarifa_historia "Charity is no substitute for justice. If we never challenge a social order that allows some to accumulate wealth--even if they decide to help the less fortunate--while others are short-changed, then even acts of kindness end up supporting unjust arrangements." __________________________________________ #TodayInBlackExcellence we celebrate... #MichaelEricDyson is a renowned scholar, ordained Baptist minister and public intellectual. His innovative scholarship, combining cultural criticism and biography, focuses on race, religion, popular culture, and contemporary issues in the African American community. "Professor Dyson is an intellectual leader in society and academia," said Georgetown University Provost James J. O'Donnell. "At Georgetown we look forward to his continued societal impact and anticipate the contributions he will make to enhance our vibrant academic community." Dyson's 15th book, released this month, Know What I Mean? is a critical study of hip hop music, addressing issues ranging from the music's creative expression to the global exposure, commercialization and politicization of rap music and its most influential figures. His previous book, Debating Race, is a compilation of previously unpublished conversations with scholars, politicians and public commentators. #BlackPeopleYouShouldKnow #ThisWeekInBlackHistory #BlackHistoryofOctober #DayInBlackHistory #WeLoveBlackScholars #TodayInBlackHistory #TIBH #TodayInBlackExcellence - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BpZFYFShIRY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=koahn84r7hrk
