On MLK Day, we’ll hear a lot of quotes from people actively dismantling his legacy, including the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

When the Montgomery Advertiser did a lynching series in 2018, I learned of two trials in Elmore County in 1901 in which white men were convicted of killing a Black man. I went to Alabama Archives. And in a box there, I found a complete typed transcript of one of the trials. Untouched for 116 years.
