Scottsboro Boys

The Scottsboro Boys were 9 African-American boys of 13 to 20 years old. They lived in Alabama. In the 1930s, they were accused of a rape that they did not do and they were punished for it. A jury found them guilty even though the woman who accused them of rape admitted during the trial that it did not happen.
