Scottsboro Nine accused

In Scottsboro, Alabama, nine African American teenage boys were accused of sexually assaulting two white girls.

Glossary Term – Organization

The Scottsboro Nine were nine African American men and boys who, in 1931, were tried and convicted of raping two white women on an Alabama freight train. Though there was no physical evidence of the crime and the women’s testimony proved questionable, the men were found guilty. All nine were free by 1950, through legal processes and escape.
