Title

Allin Journal Entry About Bombing

Description

“What has happened to our society? Blind, fearful, extremist? Where is truth and justice?” Allin’s journal entry conveys his dismay after having learned about the bombing of the home of his fellow clergyman, Rabbi Perry Nussbaum, an anti-segregationist activist in Jackson. The Ku Klux Klan bombed Nussbaum’s Congregation Beth Israel in September and then his home in November 1967.
