Obviously they were not going to be found guilty in those times. The DOJ will show klansmen were on the jury, etc. It’s to show that racism is still here in Trump supporters and Trump himself.
Or it may show that people were simply afraid to convict. Everybody’s dead and I don’t understand what they think they are going to accomplish. There are many very good books on the subject, a very good documentary I saw several years ago in NYC, so what is the point? Virtue signalling which will accomplish nothing except to inflame ignorant people.
Very sad story. Heartbreaking.
