I didn't donate blood in #NYC but I did give a talk on Tuesday at the #NewmarkJSchool’s #UncoveringJusticeStories workshop--on the #PoliceKillings of Army Cpl #RomanDucksworth, Jr. in #Talorsville, #Mississippi in 1962 and #JohnWesleyWilder in #Ruston, #Louisiana in 1965.
New reporting on the Wilder case coming soon. Links to my reporting on Ducksworth at NPR and Frontline here: https://linktr.ee/bengreenberg

An innocent man unnecessarily had his life snuffed out, and this monster thinks it's a joke.

#OTD Feb 28, 1964, a white mob murdered #CliftonWalker near #Woodville Miss. It may be the 1st shooting of an #AfricanAmerican by the #Mississippi White Knights of the #KKK. At 37, Walker & his wife Ruby had 5 kids: Rubystein, Catherine, Shirley, Clifton Jr & Brenda. #DOJ reopened the case in 2009 & closed it again in 2013, with many leads ignored by the #FBI. #BlackHistory #RacistViolence #ColdCase #histodons #lynching #SouthWestMississippi #murder

On February 28, 1964, near midnight, on a dirt road in #SouthwestMississippi, a mob of whites ambushed Walker. They stopped his car, gathered around it with shotguns and fired in at close range. It was possibly the first organized #lynching of a Black man by the #Mississippi White Knights of the #KuKluxKlan. No arrests have ever been made. The murder could still be solved.

253 followers · 189 posts · Server newsie.socialA few weeks ago I requested my #TwitterArchive and, thankfully, got it a week or so later. I *just* remembered I need to do this for my other, private, account that I joined with even earlier, in April 07. I used the private account to tweet live from the field in rural Southwest #Mississippi to a small group of colleagues and friends--before this was commonly done by #journalists. Hope I can still get the backup. #CivilRights #ColdCases #RacistViolence #journalism #histodons #nptech
