The Story of Billy Joe Johnson

Al spent a couple of minutes recounting the story of police storming jackson state university in mississippi. Al then links that history to billy joe's death in order to explain why the johnson family never trusted the police account of what happened. The fear of black men and white women being intimate, having children and cohabitating was the fuel that white supremacy used to murder black men. Allegations of rape, or even just a rumor of a black man flirting with a white woman could end in death.
