It took quite an abyssmal imagination to create these depictions followed by relentless brutality of injustices.

Yes, I've been to this site before and l learned a lot. IMHO, it's an especially good site to point white people to for a bit of education and perspective.

As always, Fine...many thanks for the post. After visiting the site, it is amazing to see the very long and shameful history of racism in this country especially the fact that these crimes were actually law up until recent times.
