    From a question near the end, “Is it too late to correct such an injustice?” and the response, “It is never too late to correct an injustice.”

    Idk brother, you might feel differently if that was your neck breaking in the noose. Maybe a better response would be, “Yes it’s definitely too late for these men, but we can make changes for oppressed groups today to prevent our descendents having to perform the same feckless rituals to the dead that we are performing today.”

        No, I’m thinking I either responded to the wrong post or the wrong video played for me. I was responding to a video about the US Army executing 13 black soldiers in the 1910s. Damn mobile sites.

          I started watching the same video on that page and was initially very confused when the gravestone said 1917. Bit silly to have that video on that page.

          The text below the video does relate to the post though.

          Yeah it kind of has the opposite meaning here.

    I wish the article had some info about how they arrived at the conclusion that it was this guy, but that info is completely absent.
