Jim Crow Laws were discontinued in 1965, meaning that some racism should have stopped between blacks and whites. Blacks should have been given the chance of equality within their society. The reason to why I bring this up is after Walter McMillian was proven innocent and later freed, close friends and family warned Stevenson about how others are reacting and are threatening to hurt Walter McMillian themselves because some believe that he killed Ronda Morrison. Even though there were people who were not happy about McMillian being free, the court should have acknowledged that there were threats being made and should have provided some security for him when he would return home instead of being forced to live in motel in a different county.
