I wonder how the descendants of the hundred or so Black people massacred in Slocum feel about this latest shooting being called the worst in Texas history.

and that a cover-up began not long after the shooting stopped - a cover-up that has continued for decades."
I have never heard about this massacre and I am a Native Texan.
Thx for posting this important post, Geechie
