The Tragedy of the Scottsboro Boys

It was difficult for Caucasians to find a job during the Great Depression, but for Blacks it was almost impossible. Several people ride a train from one city seeking work to another. On March 25, 1931, countless people walked freight trains from Chattanooga to Memphis, Tennessee. Some white people and black teenagers participated in the fight on the train, so the white boys were driven out of the train. They talked to the sheriff about the battle and he gathered the team to stop the train at the next stop, Paint Rock in Alabama province and search for it.

From a human point of view, Scottsboro's trial is a perfect tragedy. The long-term legal struggle and terrible situation of the Alabama prison system broke the accident's life. Most of the so-called Scotsboro boys are struggling to adapt to their lives like freedom. The United States Supreme Court has set an important precedent, but by law this case is also a serious misjudgment. However, as a political, social movement and cultural symbol, the Scotsboro incident played a very important role in impairing the white hegemonic structure in Alabama, the south, and nationwide.
