Sometime after church but before dinner, Sgt. James Carter knocked on the front door of James and Stella Byrd’s home in Jasper, Texas. He stepped into the living room, removed his hat and delivered the news that their son James Byrd Jr. was dead. The horrific circumstances surrounding his death they would learn later: Chained by his ankles to a pickup truck by 3 white supremacists, James had been dragged 3 miles and murdered before the sun rose that Sunday morning 20 years ago. His naked body — decapitated, dismembered, discarded — was found in front of a black cemetery. The family forgave the men who killed him. But as the U.S. faces a spread in bias crime incidents, the Byrds want to ensure the public remembers one of the worst hate crimes of the 20th century. Now, the Byrd Foundation for Racial Healing has announced plans to open a museum in Jasper and digitize an anti-hate oral history project. Billy Rowles, who was sheriff at the time, sees things this way: What happened on an old country road — where @misterwidmer took this photo — is a permanent scar that time is finally healing. “Do we ever get over something like that? No,” he said. “And we shouldn’t. But it finally doesn’t come up in conversations every day any more.” Visit the link in our profile to read the full story, by @audradsb.
