I agree with you about Katrina—and other modern day crimes. In January 2006, I spent some time in Mississippi investigating the impact of Hurricane Katrina on African American communities along the Gulf Coast. Some of the material from my trip to Mississippi is <a href="http://dollarsandsense.org/archives/2006/0306toc.html" rel="nofollow">available here</a>. It is sad that the suffering of New Orleans, which desperately needs to be addressed, tends to overshadow the effects of Katrina (and Rita) elsewhere in the region. Thanks for your comment, Ruel.

Shame to say that it has never stopped. I was born in Mississippi, I have lived this. I am Glad that we a finally looking into these crimes. But what about modern day crimes like Katrina. This coumtry needs help. Maybe one day we will let people be who they are. May be one day we will love and not hate. Sad to see al this has been happening in our world.

Crystal Phillips from your Design Dept wrote me an email about the SPLC's interest in adding Henry Dee's face to the plaque and Free At Last Book. By the way, I think we met in 2005 at the Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner memorial. Is that correct? Lecia, thanks for giving voice to the SPLC on this occasion.

Mr. Dee is one of 40 named martyrs inscribed on the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, AL The Southern Poverty Law Center recently opened the Civil Rights Memorial Center adjacent to the Memorial. I would love to replace Henry Hezekiah Dee's faceless plaque with one displaying this beautiful image. This is wonderful news!
