But that was just the beginning. With the whole world watching this racially charged case, in 1933, the retrial of Haywood Patterson began in Decatur, Alabama with Judge James E. Horton of Athens, Alabama presiding. In this episode Rebekah and Richard welcome local author and African American historian, Peggy Towns, from Decatur, and Steven Brown, author and Professor of Political Science from Auburn University. They give a riveting account of the people and events that transpired both inside and outside the courtroom during this landmark case.\nLinks\nhttps://limestonecounty-al.gov/departments/archives/\nhttps://www.alcpl.org/\nhttp://www.co.morgan.al.us/archivesindex.html   Morgan County Archive\nhttps://archives.alabama.gov  Alabama Department of Archives and History\n \nMusic from Pixabay","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/2LPMGBWiMld2b-8nBMmrF__zDCr0htuZmQCmLaO6cgs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzIyMDAzLzE2MjM2/OTg2NjctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
