Just put up the eighth post on my blog book,
Who Killed Emmett Till?. It's a fascinating account of a returning black veteran's murder in Drew, Miss. Would appreciate your comments. You can take a look at

Joe Pullen's murder is considered a watershed event. For the first time, outside media reported on the attack and a president was asked to intervene, as well. It's a story told over and over again in the civil rights movement.
To have charges made that a prosecutor was allegedly part of a mob chasing a black man in the Delta this past week, only a few miles away from where Pullen was chased and killed, is a rather amazing thing. I would hope the FBI and Department of Justice follow through and investigate this story.
