My grandfather fought in WWII against the Nazis and racism. When he returned home he bought land so my great-grandfather could stop sharecropping on a white supremacist’s land. 2/4
Once the white man found out about my great-grandfather’s intent to pay him off and leave, he drove to my grandfather’s house, shot and killed my great-grandfather, and went home to smoke a cigarette on his porch.
No arrest. No news story. Just #WhiteSupremacy at work. 3/4
