Description:

In 1931 Alabama, nine young Black men known as the "Scottsboro Boys" were arrested, tried, and swiftly convicted of raping two white women. Despite substantial evidence suggesting the women had falsely accused the men, and one later admitting no rape took place (revealing both had been with their boyfriends the day before), the conviction became a landmark case. It exposed the South's practice of "legal lynching," where Black people accused of crimes, particularly against white individuals, faced unjust trials and convictions.
