The Civil Rights Congress pickets the White House January 30, 1951 demanding President Harry Truman stop the execution of the Martinsville 7 – seven African American men sentenced to death for the rape of a white woman in Virginia.
The seven were charged with the rape of Ruby Stroud Floyd in a black neighborhood of Martinsville, Virginia on January 8, 1949. After a long legal battle led by the NAACP and a grassroots campaign led by the Civil Rights Congress, the seven were executed in 1951 on February 2nd and February 5th.
The mass executions were the largest in Virginia in modern times. Every single one of the 45 men executed by Virginia’s electric chair for rape at that point in time were African American men charged with assaulting white women.

Helped a friend work on a Rap music video yesterday. One of the things I did was run the Fog Machines for this girl's entrance shots. My friend is using a RED ONE camera, one of the finest available for digital cinema. The girl with the gun was awesome, she was gorgeous and talented (and very nice).
Execution Rocks Lighthouse is located in Long Island Sound. Legend has it that the British used to chain prisoners to the rocks at low tide and wait for them to drown as the tide came in. The lighthouse was built in the 1840's and recently handed over to a non-profit for restoration. It is a 30 minute boat ride away from the shore, and has no electricity or running water, plus it is rumored to be haunted.

Demonstrators protesting the pending execution of Willie McGee chain themselves to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. May 6, 1951.
McGee, charged with raping a white woman in Missisissippi in November 1945, was executed two days later despite a six-year campaign by the Civil Rights Congress that involved protests and legal maneuvering that resulted in two re-trials and numerous postponements.
The demonstrators pictured had earlier picketed the White House.
McGee wrote to his wife the night before his execution, “Tell the people the real reason they are going to take my life is to keep the Negro down.... They can't do this if you and the children keep on fighting. Never forget to tell them why they killed their daddy. I know you won't fail me. Tell the people to keep on fighting. Your truly husband, Will McGee.
McGee was executed May 8, 1951.

Congress’ Role in the Making and Execution of National Security Policy in the Trump Era
President Obama and the Republican Congress were usually at odds over national security policy. With a Republican in the White House now, will the President and Congress see eye to eye on threats and their solutions, or will differing institutional pressures and perspectives keep the respective ends of Pennsylvania Avenue apart? And, will the congressional investigations of Russia’s attempt to influence the presidential election end with a bang or a whimper? However the investigations conclude, what impact will they have on the relationship between the two branches?
