What happened to Tawana Brawley on the evening of November 24, 1987?
Tawana Brawley had gotten off a Shortline Bus on Route 9 and was walking on an unlighted county road to her home when two white men, one of whom displayed a badge grabbed Tawana and placed her in a vehicle. She was later raped and sodomized by six white men. When found, on November 28, she was virtually unconscious with feces smeared on her body coupled with racial epithets.
