Rev. George Washington Lee was the first recorded victim of the racial murders that accompanied African American efforts in the 1950s to bolster voter registration. His murder made clear the perils that African Americans face in pursuing their right to vote.
Born in Edwards, Mississippi, Lee became a grocer and preacher in Belzoni. In 1954, in Mound Bayou, Washington, he exhorted a crowd of around 10,000 to sign up to vote. Lee and his wife, Rosebud, opened a small print shop and grocery where appeals to register to vote were mass produced. Lee was offered a chance to give up on his voters rights efforts in exchange for his life. Lee declined.
On the 7th of May, 1955, Lee was driving in Belzoni when a green and white mercury convertible pulled up alongside him. The window of the other car rolled down and a shotgun blast struck Lee in the face. He died right there at the scene. His brutal murder soon gave way to an effort to conceal the crime. The sheriff, Ike Shelton, claimed that his death was nothing more than a car accident and the case was closed.
The civil rights movement demanded an investigation; Lee’s autopsy report made it clear he had been shot with a shotgun. Nevertheless, Shelton claimed the wounds were caused by dental fillings that became loose in the crash. The pathologist refuted these claims, stating that cavities are not filled with lead. Eventually U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. ordered that the Justice Department look into his death. Nevertheless, nobody was ever charged with the murder.
In 1989, the Civil Rights Memorial was erected in Montgomery, Alabama. The memorial is a black-grantors table engraved with the names of 40 victims of racial violence. Rev. George Washington Lee is the first named carved onto the memorial.
Whenever I think about the Twilight movies my mind instantly goes to the scene where Bella first steps out of her father's car holding a tiny cactus. And then I remember the parody movie they made of Twlight where the main girl steps out the car with a gigantic cactus.
Homosexuality was identified as a danger to Nazi society and the Nazi regime attempted to eliminate it. Willem Arondeus and Frieda Belinfante were two openly gay Dutch artists who joined the anti-Nazi resistance. They helped Jews escape arrest and deportation to the concentration camps. In 1943, they led a group which destroyed the Nazi records office in Amsterdam so that Nazis could not identify local Jews. Frieda managed to escape by dressing up as a male. She hid in Switzerland and eventually immigrated to the United States in 1947. Willem, however, was captured and executed. Before being hanged, his final words were: “Let it be known that homosexuals are not cowards!”
NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE (9/23/20): Breonna Taylor’s life mattered. There is no justice to be found under this neocolonial system. We must bring it to its knees.
