The Metro Win in Jackson, Mississippi Was a Victim of a Hate Crime

In addition to the wrongful death suit filed by Craig's family, the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department prosecuted a restitution case against the Seventh Offendants. The four most prominent members of the group were ordered to pay a collective amount of $840,000 in restitution to Craig's estate. On June 30, 2020 on what would have been Craig's 57th birthday, Mississippi passed a law to remove the Confederate emblem from the state flag. A commission is developing a new flag design that includes the phrase in God we trust with Mississippi scheduled to vote on the new design in November 2020. Of those convicted for the Jackson race attacks very few have spoken publicly about their crimes.
