"American Reckoning": 55 Years After KKK Murder of Mississippi NAACP Leader, Case Remains Unsolved
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2022
- This month marks 55 years since the assassination of an NAACP leader. The new documentary "American Reckoning" seeks justice in the cold case of murdered civil rights activist and local NAACP leader Wharlest Jackson Sr. in Natchez, Mississippi. No one was ever charged with his 1967 murder, despite evidence pointing to the involvement of the inner circle of the local Ku Klux Klan. It's one of many unsolved crimes targeting civil rights activists. "The fact that no one has been indicted for Wharlest's case or for these other cases shows the limits of the justice system," says co-director and co-producer Yoruba Richen. Wharlest Jackson Sr.'s daughter, Denise Ford Jackson, recalls how her mother received redacted documents when trying to get to the bottom of her husband's murder. We also speak with Brad Lichtenstein, the film’s co-director.

Ya its a strange coincidence how the police can NEVER catch their friends and family members.
Exactly -- local police, and during the late 1800's, local members of Rifle Militia companies, Firemens Associations, and Insurance companies
Exactly which is why we need to become punisher and exact justice and stop begging and pleading for them to give it.

contemporary times!!!!! 😞
NO citizens today are responsible for the crimes committed in the past by a corrupt government, government agencies, and equally corrupt members of law enforcement. They have used race and the label of "racists", "white supremacists" etc., to manipulate, slander and divide and control Americans since the 50's. American history should be taught in perspective so that individuals learn how agencies/politicians/corporations/and the banking elite have profited from using race and perpetuating misinformation that characterizes Caucasians as racists based directly on their skin color. Yes, historical events should be remembered, but the insidious belief that individuals today are somehow entitled to money or other benefits simply because they share the same race or greater percentage of DNA relating to that race, while others are characterized as "oppressors" based on their skin color is pure ignorance. Far more inhumane acts are being committed every day in the US agencies against citizens here in the US, including children, and around the globe. We don't owe anyone anything. We choose to love; we choose to be kind/generous because that is who we are. And, as a nation, we need to choose to unite to dismantle the corruption that is continuing to victimize ALL of us.
@S K No citizens today take any responsibility for themselves or bother to work hard to create change in their communities. Some citizens today would rather play the victim card, take whatever they get for free, and waste their lazy lives committing crimes and hurting their communities. Some citizens.
@@paull2166 Interesting perspectives from you and "SK". Keep in mind those "some citizens" had parents that had parents that never escaped the results of what was done to "their parents!" I grew up on the south side of Chicago in the early 70s in the "Project Community." I never understood why people didn't just leave! I joined a gang and started to recognize the mentality of the residents. The generational mental shackles that can imprison a person who thinks they are "free." Like a sharecropper from a slave. I was fortunate for the brutality of my Father forcing me to read early and reminding me constantly that it was illegal for him to learn to read when he was my age. Throw in the "Redlining" of the housing market for those who worked hard enough to escape the project community and the slums and you have a generational recipe for disaster for that group of people. We are seeing it every day. A people who's identity was stripped away as they were brutally torn from their culture and forced into another. The majority of the "immigrants" made it in America starting from nothing with hard work, but they knew who they were and why they came. That was not true for the slave. I sense a disdainful tone on the topic of reparations. There is no "dollar amount" that can even address the amount of suffering my ancestors endured in the U.S. The "some citizens" of today are recognizing that and rebelling HARD!! I never met my uncle. After surviving WWII he was lynched in Alabama. He had no criminal record.....no one charged. Since 1860 my family has fought in every military campaign the United States was involved in all the way to me. I am a retired Marine with 23 years of honorable service. 12 of which were in combat engagements. I am a fortunate survivor. I am the exception that people like yourself think should be the norm. The reality is..... until we address that past that you won't feel responsible for.....the future will continue to be much worse. No, I do not foster the "victim mentality" you like to blanket us all with. I simply observe and read enough to know how my community reached such a low. I have no lineage to a Jesus, but my ancestors bled and died for me. My Father blessed me with a lust for knowledge. My life is dedicated to God, My Ancestors and my community. Ubuntu Ma'at Ase'🙏🏿
@@SK-xn1pv Do you REALLY expect ANYONE to believe the terms "White Supremacy" and "Racist" were "just a label" since the 1950s!? My family has been catching HELL in the U.S.from "those citizens" since 1852, and that's just how far back I've been able to find. No those titles weren't "just labels!" "Those citizens" existed! They existed then, and their lineages live on today in every sector of government and community. Don't even try it!!
@Melokule Lekan Kumalo
Very interesting. I respect you and appreciate you, but I disagree slavery is the root cause of the plight of the black communities today. I believe many other factors play a more significant role. It's ironic. I believe blacks are still slaves, but now they're their own masters. They hold the keys to their own shackles. When I grew up, we were forbidden from making excuses, taking the easy way out. I sense, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You and I grew up with fathers in the home, teaching us to be men, but to be good people. I could go on forever, but I'll stop. I'll say two factors I referred to are black men having children and abandoning them, having children, and not providing for them because they're smoking weed and hanging out with their homies. Number two, black girls getting pregnant, having babies with no plan to provide for them, no means to care for them, leaning on grandma to raise the fatherless children. I'm very sorry, that's two. I can go through 98 more factors, and none of them have anything to do with slavery other than using it as an excuse. There's so much more to be said. We got a lot of tough love (I know this sounds strange), but I think the black community needs tough love. We had no excuses in my house growing up, no excuses in my community. All four of my grandparents were immigrants; my mom and dad were both first-generation Americans. There were no excuses about identity; they had absolutely nothing, they were penniless, and ever took handouts, welfare of any kind. They succeeded because they worked their asses off. No excuses. You show me a black person who mirrors my family in work ethic, and I'm show you my doctor (yep, he's black and awesome). They forgot to tell him he didn't have an identity. ✌
This is truly sad. I'm going to watch this documentary. Jon Bon Jovi wrote a song 'American Reckoning' for the late George Floyd! Thank you DN for covering this important story!

My heart and soul aches for this family and community. And for others who face hate, discrimination and worse, past-present! I just spent weekend in Natchez; OMG I learned so much, and shed so many tears with the residents I talked with, and toured the city and slavery museum/sites with. Sadly, historical atrocities abound in this lovely little city with such kindly but hurting citizens. They need our support and solidarity!
Currently they're facing unfair redistricting measures that threatens to further divide & deprive the poor black community of funding for schools, housing, roads etc. Please visit them and support these good, very kindly folks however you can!!! Like so many in the south, they've endured too much, for too long!!! They need everyones love and support; and they certainly deserve a reckoning... on so many levels!
Stay Strong Natchez. GODSPEED!
I agree that there's no place for hate, discrimination, and racism. That includes Israeli Apartheid, unimaginable hate, and discrimination.
Someone please tell me the difference between the FBI and the Klan...? I'll wait . But keep on reporting these little known Civil Rights stories DN. As a Black Canadian of American descent I appreciate these CRT lessons !
@J.W. So in Canada you learned in grade school about how the Indigenous ppl had been mistreated, killed. land stolen women raped and killed. This information was taught to you in schools, what about the enslaved ppl fleeing to Canada to escape bondage.
CRT & the 1619 project are tools of the DEMOCRAT KKK party to whitewash their history - - - The election of the deeply racist Democrat Woodrow Wilson (who had Southern roots) to the presidency in 1912 and re-election in 1916 led to a rise in Southern progressive Democrats who were internationalists/globalists. They were opposed the isolationism and nationalism of many conservative Republicans, a fact that modern-day progressives have covered up to whitewash important details of U.S. history.
In late January 1938, southern senators Tom Connally, Richard Russell, Jr., Walter F. George, and Claude Pepper filibustered an anti-lynching bill to prevent it from passing in the Senate. All four were pro-New Deal liberals/leftists; Connally was a pro-Roosevelt New Dealer, Wilsonian progressive and globalist;[6] Russell was mostly a New Dealer; George voted for a number of New Deal programs,;[8] Pepper was regarded as a longtime champion of liberal causes throughout his political career. Even North Carolina Democrat senator Josiah Bailey, a member of the Conservative Coalition who co-wrote the Conservative Manifesto,[9] was a progressive and globalist. Future president Lyndon Johnson was first elected to the United States House of Representatives from Texas' 10th congressional district as a liberal New Dealer and an ardent supporter of then-president Franklin D. Roosevelt. Johnson had opposed every civil rights measure in his first two decades in Congress, even anti-lynching legislation. In his 1948 Senate campaign against governor Coke R. Stevenson in the primary, he asserted in a speech:
I have voted AGAINST the so-called poll tax repeal bill; the poll tax should be repealed by those states which enacted them. I have voted against the so-called anti-lynching bill; the state can, and DOES, enforce the law against murder.
Liberals often point to Lyndon B. Johnson's so-called advocacy for civil rights to push the myth of party switch. This was despite the fact that Johnson worked to water down the 1957 Civil Rights Act, weakening it down by removing the stringent voting protection clauses[15] in addition to adding a jury trial amendment, which then-senator John F. Kennedy, joining segregationists at the urging of Johnson, voted for. The latter was to ensure that little to no progress on civil rights would be made in the South, as the jury would almost certainly acquit the defendant.[16] Segregationist Florida senator George Smathers also helped Johnson's scheme.[Citation Needed] It was afterwards that the legislation was passed, in which Johnson then supported in the final Senate floor vote.[18] It was reported that the Texas Democrat had referred to the legislation as the "n***** bill".
The myth of the parties "switching" is very inconsistent with actual U.S. history. The Republican Party only became much more right-wing during the 1910s, after Theodore Roosevelt and his Republican progressives at the time split with the Taft-supporting conservatives. The Democrat Party arguably (according to some) became much more left-wing during the 1930s during the New Deal coalition era. Progressives who brainwash youth in the modern-day education system, erase in history textbooks examples of certain racist liberals such as Hugo Black. They furthermore ignore the fact that many racist Democrats in the 30s were leftists who fervently supported the New Deal,[note 1] including Theodore Bilbo, Tom Connally, Claude Pepper,[note 2] Lister Hill, and John Sparkman. It should also be noted liberal Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt's support came strongest from the Deep South in his election/re-election victories.
@@denise3422 Trail of Tears
The 21st Congress was controlled by the Jacksonian DEMOCRATS. The first major bill they passed was the Indian Removal Act, authorizing the removal of the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminoles from the South, primarily Georgia and Florida, to a territory west of the Mississippi River which became Oklahoma. The bill was controversial, opposed by many Christians and Northerners. During the first stage of the Choctaws’ forced migration begun in 1831, thousands died during the journey. Each successive stage was marred by a lack of food, shelter, and protection from the elements. Diphtheria and typhoid were rampant. Over the decade, more than 46,000 Native Americans experienced these conditions.
Historian John Toland maintains that the Nazi Party's segregation and deportation of Jews into ghettos and concentration camps were derived from the DEMOCRAT Party's segregation and deportation of Native Americans to reservation land.
In 1866 DEMOCRATS formed the Ku Klux Klan. Its purpose was to take control and return Democrats to power. The Ku Klux Klan started attacking Black Republican conventions. At the Republican convention in Louisiana, the Klan joined with New Orleans police and New Orleans' Democrat mayor. The New Orleans Republican convention was attacked. 40 Blacks and 20 whites were killed. Another 150 were wounded.
In 1868 the Democrats put out push cards in South Carolina listing what they called the 'radical' members of the South Carolina legislature. A push card is about the size of a baseball card. The cards had the pictures of 63 legislators they wanted to kill. 50 of the legislators were Black and 13 were white. All 63 were Republicans. On the back of the was the name of the legislator.
In 1872 Congress held hearings on the Klan. Democrat leaders from Democrat States admitted under oath unequivocally that the Klan belonged to the Democrat party and their propose was to restore control in Southern states to the Democratic party. The Congressional Hearings make up 13 volumes. Black congressmen John Roy Lynch and Richard Cain went to Congress armed for fear of Klan attacks. Blacks testified that they instructed by the Klan and Democrats that, if they would stop voting the Republican ticket and would agree to vote the straight Democrat ticket, all the violence against Blacks would stop.
Jim Crow and the disenfranchisement of black voters in most of the South took place 1890-1900. From 1880 to 1960 the "Solid South" voted Democratic in all presidential elections (except 1928). After 1900 the key election in southern states were white-only caucuses;[35] victory in that primary was "tantamount to election."
GAR veteran 2nd Lieut. Nathaniel Grigsby of Company G, 10th Indiana Cavalry died at the age of 79 in 1890. Grigsby's brother was married to Abraham's Lincoln's sister. Grigsby had this written on his tombstone:
Through this inscription I wish to enter my dying protest against what is called the Democratic party. I have watched it closely since the days of Jackson and know that all the misfortunes of our nation has come to it through this so called party. Therefore beware of this party of treason.[36]
Though Republicans continued to control the White House until 1912 (except 1884 and 1892), the Democrats remained competitive in the states, especially in the mid-Atlantic and lower Midwest, and controlled the House of Representatives for most of that period. In the election of 1884, Grover Cleveland, the conservative Democratic Governor of New York, won the presidency, a feat he repeated in 1892, having lost in the election of 1888.

Sounds like police alright: Arresting people, stripping them naked - something that even victims of the Guantanamo Bay torture-camp talk about in their testimonies, and then, force-feeding them [with laxatives, in this case]. The laxatives would have ensured that the arrestees would constantly have the urge to go to toilet, knowing, however, that a restroom was not immediately accessible. This is torture in itself. And even in the event that they did have immediate access, with all prisoners having been forced to take laxatives, there would not have been enough toilets to go around on a timely basis.
The police were doing their job back then, as they do now, in serving as the establishment's tool for _control and subjugation'._ Law enforcement not only did not solve the brutal murder of Wharlest Jackson Sr, but they also actively covered up the crimes of the murderers. Ahmaud Arbery's case proves that this still goes on in the 21st century.

Time allotment is decided by the station/sponsors. Overall She always does an excellent job while being very polite and professional.

And we’re the violent ones. This murder assassination amongst so many, were committed by savage beasts.
Why do people always refer to someone who was murdered as having "sacrificed their life"? People do it with George Floyd too. These people did not sacrifice their lives. Their lives were stolen from them. They were murdered, not martyred. I don't say this to say anything against them, but I feel that this frames it in a problematic light.
Because they spoke out and was killed.shouldnt you be more concerned about,the kkk that killed him
Well Mr. Jackson was in the NAACP at a time when that alone was extremely dangerous especially in Mississippi. These actions alone show that he was willing to put his life on the line. Actions speak louder than words. He was willing to sacrifice his life through actions.

Yes. I had never heard of this story. There have been so much trauma in the black community. I hope to reopen the cold case that happened in West Helena, Arkansas in the summer of 1974 when 4 black youths Michael Bowman, Robert Hayes, Eddie Jackson, and Johnny Lee Williams were found in a big box laying in the middle of Hwy 49 at a place called Walnut Corner. The box had been run over by an 18 wheeler. The driver said it was foggy. He stopped and saw body parts strewn over the road. He went in to town and called the police. The next morning I was taken to the funeral home by the local police to identify the bodies. To this day we don't know who murdered them.
🙏🙏🙏
Saw this documentary and it's beyond appalling the cruelty and suffering that went on. I was around in 65 when this horror began.
The fact that there are some people who can look at this...a grown man still crying over his father who was not only present in his life but the life of the community, & not see something wrong with the inner workings & systemic racism that still exist til this day in this country...is beyond belief & scary & soulless.
I am so damn glad America has come to its end!! It will never ever rise again!
yeah, we let in too many third world people
They need to teach this in school every grade 1-12
Thank You Amy!!!
Heartbreaking
We need to reform the constitutional laws to garrentee unconditional equality for all Americans 🙏
Even amends the constitution to the modern times "now" and going forward 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.
You need to institutionalize them racists are not sane
Never heard of this before.
KKKden
Justice can't be denied forever!
This movie is timely. This reckoning is appropriate and timely. Yes, let all of the stories rise to the surface to be told. Let recompense do its work.
I have read in the past that the KKK might actually have been involved in the murders that Wayne Williams, the so called serial killer in Georgia in the 80s was blamed for.
I was born in 1973, six yrs later. Smh I’ll be 49 this yr. This is horrible.
America You got the nerve to speak human rights violations when you are in fact the biggest offenders.
We are still experiencing the same atrocities that were being done in the 60’s and we’re saying the same old tired thing…this has got to stop! Shame on amerikkka!
God👂🏽the cry of blood from the earth…!! (something to that effect)…..
I never heard about the "Emmett Till Act."
My God , they are sooooooo soulless and evil
Hate is a madness!
But yet they say black people don't deserve reperations
I never heard of the assassination of this man! This was terrible!
The Most High Yah will avenge the Black people for the injustice that were done to them!
You think so?
@@maxdee7940 yes, The Most High Yah is our Avenger!
@@iForgiven l hope you're right, but l don't think God exists.
The Devil's Punch Bowl is also in Natchez, little known and less spoken of.
REPARATION/40AC/MULE/AND LOCK THEM ALL UP/ITS MILLIONS STILL OUT THERE
Is Amy Goodman saying, "Warren Peace Report" or "War and Peace Report"? This is a serious question as I can't tell.
What's going on in the earth now, clearly shows we're at the end times and THE MOST HIGH YAH is returning and will render his anger upon the nations and gather HIS people from captivity across the four corners where they were scattered.
By the blood of our ancestors...HE COMES TO REDEEM US FROM EVIL.
WE WILL NOT GO THRU THIS EVER AGAIN.
WHITE MAN HAS GONE TO FAR IN BRUTALITY AND HATRED IN THE WORLD.
IT HAS REACHED HEAVEN!!!
Jesus, give it a rest. You arent a victim
This is bothering me. It appears the Capitol allowed some reenactments to take place on innocent People knowing that the established laws are to be enforced. If this Capitol wants to know why many People are not upset about the attack on January 6. They need to hear these stories. Why in the World would the Congress and the President play with my life like that. I am not a damn Slave. I want to know where is my overdue compensation and justice. The National Guard should not have helped on January 6. Our lives are greatly affected from brutal attacks before we were born. It was not okay then. It is not okay now. None of these People deserved to be attacked because of Someone Else's actions. Blacks are not all the same. Jews are not all the same. Asians are not all the same. Hispanics are not all the same. Whites are not all the same, etc. Gay People are not all the same and Transgenders are not all the same. This is not cool no where in the World. Outrageously upsetting.
America: Under Judgement
Some bots and people with underdeveloped frontal lobes in the chat I see. Welcome . Edt: oops I take back the welcome to the bots. Apologies to any people whose post I commented on, the bots followed me
Respect and recognition for our black comrades!
Can you imagine worse than this is going on today in Apartheid Israel? It's a fact. Israel has brutally oppressed the Palestinian people since 1948.
@@paull2166 Melenated people have been oppressed in America for over 400 years. You can't imagine the atrocities committed in this country during that time of 400 years. You've had people burned alive, people fed to animals, hung, etc...
@@paull2166 I don't know what you mean by it's a fact. Most historians don't debate on the level heinous depravity committed against melanated people. Many historians don't bother comparing others pain. You can't even imagine this for over a 400 year duration.
@Brandon Clark You make a good point; it's been many, many decades, in fact, many generations since black people were oppressed. A long time. There's no excuses for fatherless "family," teen pregnancy, crime, and all the other problems with the black "community." Lots of excuses never solves a problem.
Imagine your argument. Somebody in his family might have been a slave 150 years ago so I'll refuse to study at school and drop out in the 9th grade because it's to hard and he doesn't want to work. He has three babies with three different teenage baby mommas with no plan or intention of caring for them. He lives off welfare, somebody else's hard work, and deals drugs in his "community" as a side hustle. And black leaders support him with excuses. They keep doing the same thing over and over and wonder why nothing changes; let's blame somebody else...
@Brandon Clark The fact is Israel is an Apartheid state. Nobody is comparing anything, just stating a fact.
America needs to do a whole lot of reckoning before calling itself "the greatest country in the world"....pleazzze....
Bring these stories to the public is good. But has anyone been held accountable for their involvement
Adults can handle seeing these brutal slave killings, but how will black youth and children handle seeing this. America is a very beautiful and ugly, racist place at the same time.
He said the n word himself on tv!??? That reminded me of Joe Rogan using it the same way.
Since they were in Natchez, Mississippi, they should also do a report on the Devil's Punchbowl Massacre.
