Per his death certificate, he was 41 years old; was born in North Carolina; was the widower of Sarah Fennell; and worked as a laborer. He died of a gunshot wound to the abdomen. [Though they could not be admitted for routine medical care, African-Americans were often sent to “white” hospitals for emergency trauma surgery.]
Shame,
We were already doing it to each way back then. I’m almost certain there was much more to this story that the Deputy Sheriff never imparted.
***other/than/of *** are all missing in the above comment. I tried to delete this and rewrite it. Apologies for writing and sending too quickly.
Lest not forget that violence begets violence. Hurt people …hurt other people. A violent history of slavery induced trauma runs deep and wide…..even decades if not centuries later….tragic….but unfortunately, it is true….not an excuse , but facts are facts.
HOWEVER, the good news is that time ( which is that higher power) will eventually heal , renew, and restore all things broken.🙏🏾
