𝐀/𝐍:
Racism over black people was prominent at George Stinney's time basing it from the information provided, there was racial segregation among black and white.
Aime, George Stinney's sister once said:
"We wanted the truth to come out. But sometimes, when you don't have the means and the money you accept things for what they are. The NAACP [National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People] tried to stop it, but it was no use. In those days, when you are white you were right, when you were black you were wrong."
