HERMAN P. DENNIS, WRONGFUL CONVICTION, HANGED TO DEATH
I HAVE STARTED A PETITION TO GET MY BROTHER HERMAN P. DENNIS JR. NAME exonerated. I know it has been fifty eight years since they hanged him for a crime he did not commit. It has taken me this long because I never knew the story of my brother. I have researched and has written a book, The Tracks of His Tears. Please visit my website, www.authorlucydennis.com, there you will read the harrowing occurence that took place from 1949 to 1954. My brother's case was the first case Thurgood Marshall argued in front of the Supreme Court. Alas, even he was not able to change the minds of those with xenophia. It is a story in a story. When my brother was framed, convicted, then hanged, the news carried around the world. People from around the country gathered at the White House for the last moments, in hopes that President Roosevelt would stay his execution because of all the evidence proving his innocence. Herman P. Dennis spoke out and wrote against the Jim Crow laws. Because of that, he was fingered to take the fall of a murder that happened to cover up the black marketing and illegal activities that was taking place in Guam and in the Air Force. The case need to be re-opened and when it is, then justice will prevail. The interogating officer, on the witness stand, testified that he beat my brother for the confession. There is a colossal of evidence proving his innocence. His first counselor, when he found concrete evidence of his innocence, was threatened with an Article 125, homosexual behavior in the military. With that, he could have been trialed and put in prison, along with losing his benefits. Please visit my website and help me and my family right another wrong in this country. Thank you.
