The youngest was thirteen, and all had been hoping to find something better at the end of their journey. But they never arrived. Instead, two white women falsely accused them of rape. The effects were catastrophic for the young men, who came to be known as the Scottsboro Boys. Being accused of raping a white woman in the Jim Crow south almost certainly meant death, either by a lynch mob or the electric chair. The Scottsboro boys found themselves facing one prejudiced trial after another, in one of the worst miscarriages of justice in U.S. history. They also faced a racist legal system, all-white juries, and the death penalty. Noted Sibert Medalist Larry Dane Brimner uncovers how the Scottsboro Boys spent years in Alabama's prison system, enduring inhumane conditions and torture. The extensive back matter includes an author's note, bibliography, index, and further resources and source notes."--Amazon. 541 $d 20191016. 610 1 $a United States $t Constitution $n 14th Amendment. 650 7 $a African Americans $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 $a Scottsboro Trial, Scottsboro, Ala., 1931. 650 7 $a Trials (Rape) $z Scottsboro. $z Scottsboro. 941 $a 13 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015120.0 952 $l CZPD706 $d 20220709010355.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025819.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20211102013433.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061826.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210428013305.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20210428011316.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20201003011115.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724011952.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20200623010256.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20200505011125.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20200502012140.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20200409011236.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6C7CF87C051A11EAB58899FF96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
