Scottsboro Trial alleged gang rape of two white girls by nine black teenagers on the
Southern Railroad freight run from Chattanooga to Memphis on March 25, 1931 Began with a charge of rape made by white women against African American men
The poor white status of the accusers was a critical issue. A central figure was a heroic judge, a member of the Alabama Bar who
overturned a guilty jury verdict against African American men. This judge went against public sentiment in trying to protect the rights of the
African American defendants. The first juries failed to include any African Americans, a situation which
caused the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the guilty verdict. The jury ignored evidence, for example, that the women suffered no
injuries. Attitudes about Southern women and poor whites complicated the trial.
