As we kick off Black History Month, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better lesson than the efforts of local educator and author Sam Lemon on behalf of Alexander McClay Williams.
Williams was just a kid, 16 years old, when he was put to death back in 1931 for the murder of a matron at the Glen Mills School, where the teen was a 'resident.'
Lemon is convinced Williams was unjustly convicted.
Read this story and you can see he makes a power argument for his case.
This coming Sunday, Lemon will present a seminar on his findings from 2-4 p.m. at Media Fellowship House, 302 S. Jackson St. in Media.
The title of his talk is "The Story that Shocked the County."
It is not an understatement.
