In 1939, W.D. Lyons was accused of three heinous murders. A Black sharecropper, he was arrested, beaten by the police, and forced to confess to a brutal killing and arson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 29 year old, young lawyer from New York's NAACP and eventual Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall defended Lyons. He was given parole in 1961 and pardoned four years later. The case was a landmark in American history and an important step on the slow march toward equal justice that continues today. But Carpenter Earll never knew her family's dark connection to the story: that it was her own grandfather who had been accused of participating in the killings and framing of Lyons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn educator with two advanced degrees, Carpenter Earll is no stranger to teaching the tough lessons of history.
