Post-Racial Society, Huh? 15 Modern Day Cases of Racial Injustices
Troy Davis
Davis was sentenced to death in August 1991 after eye witnesses claimed to have seen Davis shoot and kill a Burger King security guard Mark MacPhail in 1989. Davis went on to become a death penalty icon, after his death in September 2011. Davis maintained his innocence for more than 20 years. And he has since started a discussion about eye witness testimonies and the death penalty.
