Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One August night in 1931, on a secluded mountain ridge overlooking Birmingham, Alabama, three young white women were brutally attacked. The sole survivor, Nell Williams, age eighteen, said a black man had held the women captive for four hours before shooting them and disappearing into the woods. That same night, a reign of terror was unleashed on Birmingham's black community: black businesses were set ablaze, posses of armed white men roamed the streets, and dozens of black men were arrested in the largest manhunt in Jefferson County history. Weeks later, Nell identified Willie Peterson as the attacker who killed her sister Augusta and their friend JennieWood. With the exception of being black, Peterson bore little resemblance to the description Nell gave the police. An all-white jury convicted Peterson of murder and sentenced him to death. In Murder on Shades MountainMelanie S. Morrison tells the gripping and tragic story of the attack and its aftermath-events that shook Birmingham to its core. Having first heard the story from her father-who dated Nell's youngest sister when he was a teenager-Morrison scoured the historical archives and documented the black-led campaigns that sought to overturn Peterson's unjust conviction, spearheaded by the NAACP and the Communist Party. The travesty of justice suffered by Peterson reveals how the judicial system could function as a lynch mob in the Jim Crow South. Murder on Shades Mountain also sheds new light on the struggle for justice in Depression-era Birmingham. This riveting narrative is a testament to the courageous predecessors of present-day movements that demand an end to racial profiling, police brutality, and the criminalization of black men.…

June 1985"; the recipients appear to be one and the same, i.e. Goshtwali Khantavarywal alias the historian Hugh Peniston Cecil. "Affectionate" parody of T.S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral. "Here let us stand, under the Bull Ring, and wait for our chance. / Are we a bunch of vandals, is it the thrill of graffiti / That half-day closing gives us the chance to bestow / Upon Marks & Spencer, Tesco, Sainsbury? / What else have we got to do, the twits, / The twerps and the foolish of Birmingham, / Other than daub the Cathedral and all of the / Branches of national multiple chains / With bright paint and foul language, and hope / That no one has seen us, that no one will feel obliged / To come forward and testify, no one / Will come to bear witness against us?".
