What does the statement, “The Scottsboro boys must not die” mean?
since the boys who raped those girls were white, and they somehow forced the girls into saying that it was the black kids, it would mean that all the laws and procedures taken to have a fair trial would mean nothing in the secret courts of men’s heart, and would ultimately show that prejudice and inequality are ok to use when deciding the law, and since the boys did die, we had about 30 years of just that happening in our courts.
