tinamarie :

this is not a fun fact. like so many black people before him, he was exploited in life and in death.

Kimberly Harris789 :

Thats horrible. What about his dignity. 😢

Nora :

It's giving Henrietta Lacks

Lovey :

He was used Hammond didn’t care about speedy. He was experimented on him.

Zandy :

That's not his friend at all

Lauren Beck :

Brad, I know you are trying to do fun facts - the display of black bodies (durring and even after Jim Crow) across the South deserves a deeper treatment however. As the New Jim Crow rises, it is our civic duty to treat these subjects with the gravity they deserve. 🥰

TaShonda :

That's not a friend that was his enemy.

🦄prettiathesitchic🦄 :

This was quite upsetting and disturbing

Shanita :

This is upsetting especially knowing he worked in tobacco all his life and had no family!! The funeral director was not a friend at all!! This is a horrible story!!

jmay_the_dragon_ranger :

in a town near me we had a similar case. they called him old Mike. he was finally laid to rest can't remember when exactly

chelingreen100 :

It was done to Medger Evers in the 50s, and Rev. Dr. King in the 60s. They are well preserved also😔!
