Civil Rights Cold Case Initiative

I stumbled across this and foung it interesting enough to share:

In 2006, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation established the Civil Rights Cold Case Initiative, in hopes of bringing justice to hate crimes in the Civil Rights era. They were able to find 108 possible cases, and proceeded to track down next-of-kin for the victims and were able to prosecute a few cases, one involving a former state trooper.

  1. I think this is a really good idea, but can you believe it took until 2006 for someone to decide this was a good idea. Unreal...
