Synopsis "lay this body down,the 1921 murders of eleven plantation slaves"

The John Williams plantation in Georgia was operated largely with the labor of slaves--not surprising, except that the year was 1921, 56 years after the Civil War. Williams was not alone in using "peons, " poor blacks bailed out of local jails, but his reaction to a federal investigation was unbelievable. He decided to destroy the evidence, to kill 11 black men who could testify to the situation.
