Never knew there was a fifth woman that survived. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽

This is the history that this country does not want to teach in schools. What an ugly history...but it needs to be taught, understood, and as she says "made right".🙏

[@GIspecialty]

This history is taught in schools, the democrats want to use this crime from 60 years ago to keep black people angry. Thats all it is. Look at the condition of so many black communitys today, you dont hear much about that do you? How many black children have been killled just this year. Liberals do not want to confront that.

[@buckeyewill2166]

Yep….they would ban this history in Florida

Disgusting! SMH so sad when I saw that little girl who had to get her eye removed. America has so much blood on it’s hands! The animals that did this will pay for eternity!!!

We as black people can never stop, and never forget ❤.

[@maryprior9386]

THANK YOU NBC .THERE ARE NO WORDS OMG!!!!

[@iGLOW522]

This event is still so heartbreaking. This was only 60 years ago and America acts like it was so long ago. America has never been held responsible for how they treated black people in this country

[@julieannmorales112]
