Free Joan Sees Bright Future After Acquittal
Joan Little, a 21 year old black woman from Beaufort County North Carolina, was acquitted Friday of the murder of Clarence Alligood, a white jailer. The jury took one hour and 21 minutes to reach the verdict in a case that became an international symbol for black and feminist movements. Little said she faced a future of speeches and journalism instead of iron bars. The defense argued she acted in self defense after alleged molestation. The case drew global attention and highlighted issues of race and gender.
