There was a black man lynched in Marion Indiana in the thirties.

When I was on the school board here (bout ten years ago) I introduced a motion to make MLK's birthday a school holiday.

Not long after that my brother in law's niece's husband (who lives in Kokomo) who is half native american came up and gave me a raft of crap about it. He was pissed that there were no native american hero's days off, IIRC.

I think as bad as our country treated african slaves, clearly the genocide of the native americans was worse.
