@black.georgia.hid: Five young Black men in a small south Georgia town faced the death penalty, and the case against them rested on one confession. ⚖️ Their defense was organized through Team Defense, an Atlanta group then tied to the Southern Poverty Law Center. In 1977 PBS aired a documentary on the case, Life and Death: Dawson, Georgia, carrying the story into homes across the country. ✊🏽 What do you think happened to the cases in Terrell County that never got national attention? #BlackGeorgiaHiddenHistory #DawsonFive #TerrellCounty #BlackHistory #GeorgiaHistory
