Clarence Norris: The “Scottsboro Boy” Who Never Stopped Fighting
Clarence Norris was one of the nine "Scottsboro Boys" who were arrested in 1931 in Paint Rock, Alabama and falsely accused of raping two white women on a freight train passing through the state. After their arrest, the Boys, who ranged from 13 to 18-years-old, were taken to Scottsboro, Alabama to await their trials. The passage of time revealed that all of the nine Scottsboro Boys were, in fact, innocent of the rape charges.
