Finding A Burning Cross on Martin Luther King Jr.’s Front Lawn
No one would like to see a cross burning up in their yard, right? Well, Martin Luther King Jr. looked completely unfazed because he is not your ordinary man. We all know just how extraordinary the civil rights leader is. He was no stranger to violence and threats as he had received a lot of those in the past already. His home was even bombed in 1956!
He found this burning cross in his front yard during the spring of 1963. He was aware of the fact that all eyes were on him, anticipating how he would handle the situation. He did not show fear and kept going.
A Prisoner Was Used To Test the Safety of This Roller Coaster
We know how inhumane this sounds. Sadly, it did happen in the past. As a matter of fact, it was not so long ago when prisoners had been used as crash test dummies for roller coasters before they were due to be opened.
However, there is very scarce information about the inmate in the photo above. At any rate, the general consensus is that he was placed on death row and only had to wait for the day to come. How sad is this?
