George Stinney was a 14 year old black boy in the 1970s who was falsely convicted and sentanced to execution for a crime he did not commit. Racism was a huge issue back then, and the area he lived in was predominately dominated by a white community who wanted justice for the murder of two white young girls. the trial of the murder lasted two and half hours and just ten minutes to convict him and then he was led to death row in south Carolina. his parents were forced and threaten to leave the own they lived in while George was being fault convicted. his parents were threatened to leave town or otherwise they would had been hanged. the police lied about getting a confession from George because the police had no other evidence but just pure racism and thy wanted someone to pay for the murder of the two white girls in a white community.
