Last Saturday, the fifth annual reenactment of a horrific lynching at Moore’s Ford Bridge in Monroe, Ga., helped bring attention to the unsolved crime.
On July 25, 1946, two African-American couples and an unborn child were killed by a group of armed men, who riddled them with so many bullets that their bodies were practically unrecognizable. Some of the men are still believed to be living in Walton County.

CL has followed the goings-on of Mike Norman, bar owner and T-shirt designer extraordinaire, with great interest in recent weeks. We were lucky enough to get a video interview with the man who became a person of national interest by selling T-shirts depicting Sen. Barack Obama as a Curious George look-alike.
Mike Norman was also interviewed by CNN but they failed to elicit the stunning insight into the cartoon monkey-lover’s mind that CL managed.
