Why do I connect with very different people at very different places and times?
I have always been fascinated with the American south; Tennessee Williams is one of my favorite authors, Faulkner is THE best American author.
Last year I read a book about history of slavery, and I have always been disgusted and revolted by the idea that some humans can enslave others.
So, I just couldn�t help not following the trial of Killen who is accused of killing 3 civil rights activists back in 1964.
The whole thing was made into a movie called Mississippi burning, starring whoopi Goldberg (it comes a lot on TV) and I had read about this incident some years ago, but the murders (a gang of Ku Klux Klan) never really went onto a trial and the murderers remained free.
So seeing one of them finally indicted and tried seems more like fictional than real life.
