Exactly
Sounds like he was specifically targeted.
Reminds me of the story 'To Kill a Mockingbird'
Yes I like there's a KZread channel of this nature considering my dad's side of the family originally comes from Elkhorn West Virginia. You often times don't hear about black history in Appalachia.

Originally from WV I can say in fact there are few Black folk in WV today. 100 years ago? I haven't a clue. I'll have to look up Elkhorn. I left the state in 1983. Come to find out my Mom's folk come from Mullens WV just over the ridge from you all. Howdy neighbor!
Reasons like these are the very reason we need to be vigilant because the same thing can happen again and just as I believed then I also believe now that there can be a repear just like before
We know he would have been found guilty
