Race Hate in Louisiana
Tom Mangold investigates allegations that racism still exists in the Deep South, and explores how race relations have progressed since the turbulent 1960s.
In September 2006, three nooses were found dangling from a tree at a high school in Louisiana. At a school assembly, a black student had asked the vice principal if he could sit under the same tree – in a traditionally white part of the school yard. Tom Mangold uncovers the truth behind allegations that racism still exists in the Deep South of America. As a black man announces his presidential candidacy, This World investigates how far race relations have progressed since the turbulent 1960s.
