...Friday at 12:10 a.m., it was Henry Francis Hays' turn to die. His execution was cause for some self-congratulation in Alabama because, unlike most of those who have been put to death before him, Hays is white. What's more, he is the son of a Ku Klux Klan leader who, the prosecution said, ordered him to lynch a black as a "show of strength" in 1981, after a jury failed to convict a black man accused of killing a white police officer.

I remember being quite frightened as a child when I saw footage of dogs attacking children during civil rights demonstrations or when the terrorism of the Ku Klux Klan was portrayed in movies. I couldn't sleep for weeks after viewing movies like "North and South" or "Roots" because of the brutal depictions of slavery. Like many children, I applied what I saw to my own reality. I lay awake for hours imagining that the sick men dressed in sheets on television would invade...
