Lillie Belle Allen was murdered in a 'white power' pack attack on July 21, 1969. An out-of-towner, she was unaware that she was heading into a race riot.
For over thirty years, the perpetrators thought they had gotten away with it. But in 2001, the perpetrators were indicted. Most were convicted. The ringleader, a corrupt former policeman who had issued ammunition to the gangsters, managed to escape prison - but lost his political career forever.
