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.Please research the story of the Scott Sisters and spread the word.
