[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Happened 60 years ago, who cares.[/quote] "the Shoe Lane community consisted of a church and about 20 Black families," Of course it is bad. But yeah, there were only 20 families, and the homeowners are probably all dead. Of course there was racism. But it was also about power and building a new university. These same forces can affect any marginalized community. This is better than another rehash of Emmett Till. But did we need two stories? Surely there are more important contemporary issues? Maybe sexual assault on native-American reservations, mistreatment of migrant workers, foster care disfunction, health insurance denial, military suicides, elder abuse.[/quote] Even if they're dead, had they been compensated fairly, they would have had more family wealth to pass on to the next generation. Would you be this complacent if it were your family who got ripped off?[/quote]
