Beulah candappa biography of donald
She still occasionally tells stories – try to see her..
On the night of March 21, 1981, a cross crackled and burned on the lawn of the Mobile County courthouse—the Ku Klux Klan’s grim protest of the outcome of a local murder trial.
Beulah was the daughter of a headteacher and chieftain.
It was just the beginning of the terror that would take place that night.
The cross burned out, but the Klan’s anger didn’t. Later that night, two men roamed Mobile looking for a Black man to kill. They found him: 19-year-old Michael Donald.
This week, I'm writing about a game I'm calling Let's Move though I don't think I've ever given it a title before.Before the night was through, Donald had been murdered and his body hung from a tree.
It was a 20th-century lynching in the most brutal sense of the word—and thanks to a landmark civil lawsuit by Michael’s mother, Beulah Mae Donald, it would end up being the last.

As sociologists Stewart Emory Tolnay and E.M. Beck explain in their book A Festival of Violence, Michael Donald was different from some lynching victims in that he was not accused of committing a crime or thought to have breached racial etiquette.
