<snip> "I came down here a day or two after they killed them," said Stewart, who is the sister of the only known living witness to the Moore's Ford Bridge lynchings of July 25, 1946. <snip>

On Saturday, marchers, led by state Rep. Tyrone Brooks (D-Atlanta), and organized by a group that calls itself the Moore's Ford Memorial Committee, sought, by publicizing the Moore's Ford case, to pressure authorities into prosecuting it. <snip>

In a 1992 Atlanta Journal-Constitution story, Adams said that, as a 10-year-old boy, he told a deputy sheriff what he saw and was warned if he spoke again his family could be killed. <snip>

1. You have to register to read the article...but ...It was 60 years ago

Anyone who was an adult back then are now at least 78 years old. Who are they going to prosecute? I think the time is long gone on this cause.
