| Publisher Description: "Do you know what happened to Honeycutt?" This was the question my grandfather asked me just before I entered my first college semester. Today, I am happy to say that my education and professional career have afforded me the opportunity to have a better life than so many other black Americans in the past. However, his question always stuck with me. Thus, I was compelled to research the case of lynching victim Edward Honeycutt. I was forced to question myself, "From the early 1700's to the 1950's, could a black man receive a fair trial in the St. Landry Parish Court System?" This a case study that covers the trial Edward Honeycutt; the case of Plessey v. Ferguson, "separate but equal"; and the undeniable fact that "Black Justice Matters." |
