Send Us Back to Mississippi!

Posted on the 09 June 2014 by Alanbean @FOJ_TX

P1000473-1Friends of Justice plans to travel to Mississippi June 22-26 and you can help make it happen.

First, a word about the trip.

We will be meeting with some film makers in Winona, MS who want to do a documentary about the Curtis Flowers case.  I also hope to visit Curtis on death row at the notorious Parchman penitentiary.

Secondly, we will be touring the Mississippi Delta at the invitation of Dr. Paul Ortiz and the University of Florida’s Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, working with veterans of the fight for civil rights in Mississippi, like our good friend Margaret Block.

(By the way, oral arguments in support of Mr. Flowers’ appeal are set for July 21 and can be viewed online.)

We have already raised half the money we need for this trip and are depending on our supporters to do the rest.  Your gift of $100, $50 or $25 will play a big role in getting Friends of Justice to Mississippi for these exciting and important events.
