Absolutely did. It just demonstrated what they were afraid of a black person that stood up for themselves and didn't fall into line with the good ole boy way of life in such a place as Mississippi.
The moment that happened they felt threatened and resorted to violence and murder as all the historical documents showed.
Thankfully with the aid of brave blacks and those whites who aided in the the Civil Rights struggle better days were to come.![]()
I was just reading about that Emmett Til case yesterday....instrumental in bringing about the Civil Rights movement of the time. The fact that Bryant and Milam admitted to the murder made it even more incendiary.
