I searched and did not see this, but did catch it on the local news. What an insane demonstration and bizarre behaviour. The "lynchers" were black guys with white masks on making them look like the phantom of the opera was mugging two couples. Absolutely pathetic. I can't find any link in the ajc about it. HMMM.

Oh and Tyrone Brooks is a race baiting trouble make from way back. This tragedy did not even occur in Atlanta then or now.

Georgia State Rep. Tyrone Brooks walks past the overgrown yard of the home outside of Monroe, Ga., believed to be the farmhouse of Barney Hester, Sunday, July 24, 2005. As a 20-year-old civil rights activist, in 1968, Brooks met Dan Young, who ran the Walton county's only black funeral home, where he viewed pictures of dead bodies, who were the victims, Young told Brooks, of the last open public mass lynchings in the U.S. On Monday, the 59th anniversary of the lynchings, Brooks and other civil rights activists will re-enact that fateful day with a march starting at this property, in hopes of gaining support for the arrest and prosecution of anyone still alive who may have been involved or responsible.

Why relive a terrible part of history and inflame emotions to further divide the people? Noone in their right mind condones what happened then.

The local news plastered this thing all over the place. While finding out who the perps are is important (finding the murderers in any case is important), the exploitation of this by Brooks (and Jesse Jackson -- his face was all over this one) is beyond insane.

And my biggest problem with this was the way the local stations jumped on this -- like a dog humping a light pole. They showed the "reenactment" and presented it as if it were the real deal. I was beyond frustrated.

Especially commemorating the 59th anniversary of anything seems a little odd.
