one month shy of his 94th birthday. Dean was born on January 29, <br /> 1924 in San Francisco to Helen and George. <br /> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <br /> (For such a time as this) <br /> Violence, Hate, Evil, and corruption are terrible choices <br /> (Jesus reminded me today how important this whole story is; 100 years in the making). <br /> I saw excerpts from the movie "Till" on television. This young black male was killed for whistling at a <br /> white woman at a store in Mississippi in 1955. He lived in Chicago and were visiting relatives in <br /> Mississippi. He was free- spirited. Racism in the "deep south" didn't permit this kind of gesture from <br /> Black people. <br /> His mother spread the word about her son's appalling murder and explained her rationale to inspect <br /> and display his body. She also detailed her encounters in Jim Crow Mississippi during the murder trial <br /> and situated her son's story within a larger struggle for racial equality. His mom wanted "to let the <br /> world see what is happening in the United States of America. "She ultimately determined that she <br /> could have an even greater impact in the classroom, where she could teach generations of young <br /> people.This is quite the reverse of what Republicans are doing now. They want to take books out of <br /> schools that show evil deeds done in the past, true history. <br /> The all white jury deliberated one hour and acquitted the murderers. Jurors said it would have taken <br /> less time than that but they wanted to make it look good. They later admitted to the murder and <br /> received $4 K for their story which was based on a lie from the woman who he whistled at True <br /> justice would be ensuring that Till's family wants for nothing, and that nothing like this would <br /> ever happen again. But this white supremacist system isn't interested in justice. Black children <br /> keep dying, and we're forced to fight for them alone while the killers get paid to lie about what <br /> they've done.( some parts of "Till excerpts" copied from AOL). <br /> I was pondering over this story today. Jesus spoke to me and said," <br /> They thought they of away with it. They are in Hell. <br /> Sin is sin/ Racism is sin. <br /> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <br /> (In reference to this scripture and commentary below; I have to add this. The intense inner heat that <br /> Jesus imparted to me that day for 10 second was horrific. Not even a cool drink of water could <br /> quench that fire. I believe He is wanting me to share this now because of Republican's behavior. <br /> Luke 16: 24 <br /> New Living Translation <br /> "The rich man shouted, 'Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his <br /> finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in anguish in these flames.' <br /> Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers <br /> 15 <br />
