LYNCHINGS, STALKING AND FRISKING

RANDY CREDICO, former director of the William Moses Kunstler Fund for Racial Justice, discusses his October arrest protesting "stop and frisk," and assesses the prospects for reversal and temptation for compromise regarding racial profiling;
NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly defending selective "stop and frisk" statistics;
Rebel Diaz - "Stop Stop and Frisk";
ORIGIN OF THE 1917 "SILENT MARCH"
The first NYC "silent march," organized on 28 July 1917 by the NAACP, was a response to an epidemic of lynchings and the slaughter of scores of blacks in East Saint Louis, Missouri, while the police and national guard stood by as whites fired upon and burned their neighborhoods. Documentary details excerpted from a "Living St. Louis" documentary, courtesy of St. Louis public station KETC;
TEXAS ORIGIN OF "JUNETEENTH"
"Juneteenth" is now a national commemoration based on a colloquialism first celebrated by Texas slaves when, on 19 Jun 1865, federal troops finally formally announced in Galveston that they had been "emancipated" -- two years after President Lincoln's Proclamation had taken effect elsewhere throughout the Confederate states. DAVID DORAL of Pacifica station KPFT in Houston provides reviews the history of Juneteenth.
RECENT RACIAL PROFILING IN TEXAS
Racial profiling against blacks remained a tool of Texas authorities nearly a century and a half after the Civil War, most vividly in the panhandle town of Tulia, where one third of the black male population was falsely arrested on fabricated drug charges pursued by a racist sheriff and drug-abusing undercover agent. ROBERT KNIGHT was there as a multiracial community held a midnight march for justice.
