Today's
New York Times has
this powerful piece about the Houston Riot and the ensuing court-martial and executions of Black soldiers, by
Edgar Sandoval. Did you know the trial was held in the Ft. Sam Houston's Gift Chapel -- which is still there?
Coincidentally,
The Leavenworth Times has
this article about
Turner W. Bell, "the greatest Habeas Corpus Lawyer of the West," who represented the 63 soldiers given life sentences in the trial.
