Karma will take care of those responsible.
R.I.P. gentlemen. Your collective sacrifice will never be forgotten.
I don’t believe in any sort of cosmic karma, but I cannot agree more with the second sentiment.
For those to whom it is relevant, the 12th of Tammuz is the Yahrzeit of Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner in the Hebrew calendar. On the evening of the 11th (thi syear, the evening of July 17), I light a Yahrzeit candle for Andrew and Michael and for James Earl Chaney, the young man who was working with them who died in terror with them. I light the candle for them and for Emmitt Till, for Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley and Addie Mae Collins, the little girls murdered in the bombing of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church, for Medgar Evers and for all of the other victims of racist murders–African-Americans as well as Civil Rights Workers. G-d bless each of them and their families. May there be no more.
Thank you. The ultimate sacrifice, hopefully, for “a grateful nation”.
