A LITTLE SAD HISTORY..

George Junius Stinney Jr.. Was the youngest person ever executed in the USA in the 1920s at the age of 14 he was placed on trial for the double homicide of two white girls. With no evidence or probable cause he was still convicted of the crime. Due to racial segregation African Americans were not allowed to be present in the court room his family was given the option to leave town or be lynched giving the young George No support. After his 2 hour trial which consisted of three testimonies from 3 Caucasian officers who claimed to have evidence and a confession he was sentenced to death by electrocution. The 5'2 90lb teen used his very own bible as a booster seat to prop him up on the chair built for grown prisoners. After the first wave of shocks the face mask fell off of George's head showing a face full of tears and wide eyes and saliva coming from his mouth; after two more jolts of the 2,400 power shocks he was pronounced dead. Let us remember where we came from and what we pushed through...!FB_IMG_1517848046821.jpg
