Fwd: Just in: SPLC on CNN Sunday night




SPLC warns of domestic threat

October 21, 2011

Dear Friend,

We've just received word that CNN will air an in-depth report on the racist killing of James Anderson in Jackson, Miss., this Sunday. Mr. Anderson was killed in a grisly hate crime this past June. We've filed suit in this shocking case to win justice for Mr. Anderson's family after he was targeted by a group of white teens. The attack was captured in horrific detail by a motel security camera and later broadcast on CNN.


Sunday, October 23
CNN Presents
8:00 and 11:00 pm ET

     

Prosecutors say the teens went out hunting for a black person to hurt. They found Mr. Anderson in a motel parking lot, and he was beaten mercilessly. Then, as the video shows, the ringleader of the group ran over him with a pickup truck, killing him. One of the teens reportedly shouted "white power," and afterward, the driver allegedly boasted that he "ran that n----r over."

We hope you can tune in and learn more about this very important case.

Thank you for supporting our work fighting hate and seeking justice.

- Your Friends at the Southern Poverty Law Center
