A Conscious Mind
slavery by another name. I came across the tragic story of 'The Scott Sisters' last week, it stirred up a bevy of emotions, from utter sadness to pure anger and rage. Jamie and Gladys Scott, Mississippi natives, have spent the last 15 years inside a Mississippi prison for an armed robbery that netted $11. The sisters have consistently denied any involvement in the crime. A deep South courtroom sentenced the sisters to a double life sentence. If they were involved, a life sentence is beyond harsh. One would expect such an injustice to occur in a third world country. Truth be told, the story of the Scott Sisters is far from unique, countless people of color have and are facing similar injustices.
