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.

General consensus was that the book was good for large company process execution with a Midwest mentality. But in the Silicon Valley, emphasis is on innovation and practice.

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.
"They now had the left hand of a convicted felon, cut from the body on the morning of execution and drained of its blood. They also had some of the villian's hair and body fat which would be needed as tallow and wick once the hand itself had been 'cooked' as Will had so crudely put it.
It would take skill to transform this ungodly flesh into a magical talisman that would gain them entry into forbidden places, but Billy knew he could do it and it made it all the more satisfying to think he would do do in the Bowman's kitchen."

Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rizal_Monument
The Rizal Monument (original title: Motto Stella, Latin, "guiding star") is a memorial in Rizal Park in Manila, Philippines built to commemorate the executed Filipino nationalist, José Rizal. The monument consists of a standing bronze sculpture of Rizal, with an obelisk, set on a stone base within which his remains are interred. A plaque on the pedestal's front reads: "To the memory of José Rizal, patriot and martyr, executed on Bagumbayan Field December Thirtieth 1896. This monument is dedicated by the people of the Philippine Islands".
The perimeter of the monument is guarded continuously by the Philippine Marine Corps’ Marine Security and Escort Group, the changing of the guard having become a daily ritual. About 100 m (330 ft) north-northwest of the monument is the exact location where Rizal was executed, marked by life-size dioramas depicting his final moments.
An exact replica of the Rizal Monument can be found in Madrid, Spain at the junction of Avenida de Las Islas Filipinas and Calle Santander.
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?

One day I decided to visit the memorial place near The Hague where during the war many members of the resistance were executed by the Germans.
The second I left home it began to rain and storm but i decided to finish my trip, no matter what.
It was a tough ride, blown off my bike a few times.
But on my way there I saw a 1930s Rolls Royce and a 1930s bus drive by.
I'm not superstitious but it felt like a good sign ;)
The monument was small but touching, when I got there it stopped raining and the sun started shining.... Read more
I'm not ashamed to say I kneeled at one of the execution places and had a little chat and a little cry.
The trip back was a delight, storm ended, traffic melted away and I knew where I was going this time ;)
As I was having a little private time by the execution spot I heard gunshots.
It freaked me out a bit, till I remembered there was a army training ground nearby.
