What’s your point?
Haven't watched "60 Minutes" in 35+ years. It was an interesting episode and entire show. My thoughts ...
History is ugly. The complete story, which this wasn't, deserves to be told. The timing is opportunistic with regard to the 2017 Confederate monument removals and demonstrations.
After last year's demonstrations, it occurred to me that the Confederate monuments (not the soldier memorials which should remain in place) that were removed and put in storage could be put in park settings like the Hungarians did in 1993. They put all the communist statues in Memento Park in Budapest as a reminder of an ugly part of their history.
The lynching of Wes Johnson, a prominent story in this episode, took place in Abbeville, AL, in 1937. My maternal side of the family lived ~15 miles from there. My mother watched the episode last night. She was 6 years old at that time of the lynching. She said she never heard any stories about lynchings growing up.
Thought the research behind this story was not communicated well. The Tuskegee Institute did the original research 10+ years ago. TI was not mentioned at all. TI's research showed that ~25% of the lynchings during this era were white victims. I had read elsewhere, and it makes sense, that many of the victims were guilty of the charges. Of course that does not justify lynching. 60 Minutes didn't comment on any of that. The civil rights attorney in Montgomery who built this memorial, plus 60 Minutes editing, made it sound like this was all white terrorism on the black population. At this point, I question the attorney's real motive behind this memorial and museum. My cynicism defaults to reparations. I hope I am wrong on that score.
Regarding the entire 60 Minutes broadcast, it was interesting to see Oprah Wynfrey and Kamala Harris presented in 2 segments - both are on the long list of potential 2020 Democrat presidential candidates.
