Scottsboro: An American Tragedy

In 1931, two white women stepped off from a box car in Paint Rock, Alabama to make a shocking accusation: they had been raped by nine black teenagers on the train. So began one of the most significant legal fights of the twentieth century.

The trial of the nine falsely accused teens would draw North and South into their sharpest conflict since the Civil War, yield two momentous Supreme Court decisions and give birth to the Civil Rights Movement. In addition to its historical significance, the Scottsboro story is a riveting drama about the struggles of nine innocent young men for their lives and a cautionary tale about using human beings as fodder for political causes.

  1. This is truly an amazing documentary !

  2. Listen to you people..Truly evil race. No one knows rape, murder, and hatred like the white man.
    So much so as to let it desecrate your own families and children..Truth be known it was the white mob who was beat off the train who raped those girls if they were raped at all.

    • So you felt the need to repeat the same thing over and over again for which reason? Either because you’re a stupid nigger that can’t work a keyboard or you have to keep explaining shit over and over again because you’re also talking to stupid niggers. Hey, you dum son of a nigger cunt whore. it’s your stupid worthless race killing your own. They wear blue and we wear red, he’s got a better corner to sell on, now he’s got better crack to sell, Blah.blah.blah… Get a job. Do something other than make a bunch of nigglets you don’t take care of and then blame the “hood”. It shows right there, if your race had any since at all you would fix your sorry ass. They only thing your doing right is killing the right color. Stupid mother fuckers.

    • That’s right just how crackers like to rape and kill children like its nothing. -_-

      Sorry excuse for a human being you are.

      • What the fuck do you think you niggers do? Always shooting each other for the better corner to sell your dope on cause you’re to sorry, stupid, and lazy to get a job. What’s it called when a nigger woman gets an abortion? Crime stoppers. LMFAO.

        • Hey Pard, don’t be a bit surprised when your mom, sister, daughter, and any woman you know, and love gets violently raped. Karma is bitch you fucktard piece of shit. I hope they rape your ignorant ass also. Now run along outside and get your head blown off in a drive by because you’re just asking for that while you’re out “just trying to make a living” you rock slinging uneducated waste of space.
