My grandmother was a 12 year old girl living on a main road in Marietta when this happened. She remembered this event because there were many, many people streaming down the road going to see the body. Whenever I look at photos from this sickening event, I cannot help but wonder if any of my relatives were sympathizers. I’m so proud that Georgia just elected a black man and a Jewish man over two white millionaires to represent their state in the US Senate. May we continue to move forward, but never forget the past.
