À propos de cette écoute
Enforcing the law to a T, Carlton, accompanied by his African-American partner Johnny Grimes, goes into an all-black juke joint to shut it down for violating curfew laws. Fights ensue, and they take several men off to jail to sober up. The next morning, Carlton recommends that the judge let them all go as they were just blowing off steam after a long week of hard work and can’t “feed their families” sitting in jail. The conclusion to the shooting death of Officer Rowry is described. Deputy Sherif Lewis arrests the famous civil rights leader Hosea Williams for driving drunk through Greene County. That action has positive repercussions for the arrestee and for civil unrest in the county going forward. Ironically, after Carlton’s passing, Tom is given the job by his boss, Governor Joe Frank Harris, of protecting Williams and other civil rights leaders during a highly tense 1987 march into Forsyth County, one of the largest such protests ever in the U.S. [Accompanying image: Tom and Eleanor in the late 1970s.]
