The world is a MUCH better place.

The death of Sam Bowers did not make the world a "better place". Unfortunately, the world is still in the same sad shape it was always in. There are still biggots and murderers of people fighting for equality living comfortably in Mississippi, and instead of dedicating all the time we could to achieving positive social change, truth and justice, many of us wasted time celebrating this one human being's death...
While we were talking about how much better the world is without Bowers, another child was being socialized in a world of hatred and inequality and will grow up to be full of the same bigotry Bowers was full of, evidenced by the young Mississipian who was emboldened enough to stop and scream racial slurs at a group of over 100 people at the 43rd Annual Mississippi Civil Rights Martyrs Memorial on June 24th, 2007.

Folks like Edgar Ray Killen and the rest of the lynch mob and the two racists that lashed out against us at the Mississippi Memorial this past weekend should and must be held accountable for their actions, but ultimately are themselves used and deluded by those who hold real power. We've only scratched the surface in prosecuting these individual racists and haven't even begun to hold the powerful and wealthy accountable.
I second your sentiments and heed the call to keep working.
