Scottsboro Trials By Rachel Moore, Hunter Gillingham, Tommy Murphy, Caitlin England & Rachel Yerkey

What is the Scottsboro Trial? March 15,1931. The Scottsboro trial was nine African American teenagers that were accused of raping two white girls, Victoria Price and Ruby Bates.

Trials ● The first trial was held in April of Hollace Ransdell was a young teacher who was put on the csd to investigate it. She talked to doctors, social workers, college professors, black ministers, judges, mayors, and the accusers. ● They split the cases up in four ways between the boys. The first case had the two oldest black boys.

● All the boys, except the youngest, were sentenced to death in prison. ● A few of the boys were forced into confessing to the crime after they received beatings in jail. ● After the case reached the Alabama Supreme Court, the boys were moved to a rat-infested jail facility, and they were given the counsel of Sam Liebowitz.

During trial, Liebowitz uncovered the work of Victoria Price, a prostitute. Neither of the women had evidence of gang rape when examined.

● The men are now all deceased. Their lives were very hard when they were alive, it wasn’t until 2010 that their names cleared. The boys had to live their lives scared to walk on their own streets. ● YLmqx3wg

Quotes from people involved "The courtroom was one big smiling white face." -- Haywood Patterson (Goodman, 6) "I was sitting in a chair and one of those girls was testifying. One of the deputy sheriffs leaned over to me and asked if I was going to turn state's evidence, and I said no, because I didn't know anything about this case. Then the trial stopped awile and the deputy sheriff beckoned to me to come out into another room-- the room back of the place where the judge was sitting-- and I went. They whipped me and it seemed like they were going to kill me. All the time they kept saying, "Now will you tell?" and finally it seemed to me like I couldn't stand it no more and I said yes." --Roy Wright (NY Times, 3/10/33)
