So we are doing something a little different for the next few episodes. For Black History Month, we wanted to cover some civil rights crimes and with everything going on in this country, and the world at the moment, it’s more important than ever to know our history and to try and avoid going back to the way it used to be. 

This episode is covering the lynching of Michael Donald. He was a well loved and respected, 19 year old man who did nothing more than walk along the street to save his niece from going to the store at night. This was all it took for the Klan to grab him and murder him in a profoundly violent way. 

This wasn’t a turn of the century thing or in the 1960’s, this was in 1981.  What the Klan didn’t count on though was a mother whose love for her son and her faith gave her the strength to take on the organization and get justice for Michael.
