Consequences of hate linger in justice and memory

It links the 1963 Montgomery church bombing, Angela Davis, and a Marin County courtroom shooting, noting Davis later framed the atrocity as shaping her life while justice for the four girls remains elusive. The piece contends American justice failed in Montgomery and that distrust now colors views of justice among intelligent Black Americans.
