La Jeanne

The author is too dismissive of the man who saw the lynching as a child. Having met and known people who experienced similar atrocities, no one can feel and recall the effects except the witness. I sense their hiding in fear and if discovered, harassed or worse, sometimes for years. Even the actor Henry Fonda detailed his own trauma after witnessing the lynching of an innocent, handicapped black man and the mayor in Omaha, Nebraska as he and his father stayed together in darkness behind the locked doors of their printing office. Walk a mile in someone else's shoes. Some of the victims also do not escape the judgement of the writer.
