History:
-Current Events discussions about the racial injustice of the 9 young Scotsboro, Alabama boys who were falsely convicted by a jury of 12 white males of raping two white women on a train in 1931. The state of Alabama finally issued them posthumous pardons this morning. One of the girls recanted her testimony, and said they made it all up, but the 9 young men were all sentenced to death anyway. She even marched with African Americans in protests around the country that were staged to complain. This was long before the civil rights marches of the 50s and 60s.
-Continued notes on the development of our constitutional democracy.
-Don't forget that on Monday, we will switch classes. History will be during English classes, so we can go to the lab and work on projects.
