Stolen Girls of the Lee County Stockade- 1963 in Georgia. I learned about this just this morning

10. I'd like to think that's one of those regional incidents that were

usually never published... but I just don't know. How many others like the "Stolen Girls" exist in our history? How many other stories of people, on the "fringe" in one way or another, have paid the price? My uncle, who was mentally retarded after a bout of German Measles back when I was kid, was banned from certain public places, too. Taking him would have been a major issue, to boot, and once someone told him to "get out" he'd more than likely have turned violent. These kids were just wanting to see a movie, and they were just ordinary girls. SMDH. My uncle had a habit of commenting aloud at the theater when we could get him in to see a movie. Most times they refused him entrance.

I fear we're headed back to those days and worse, and at 70 it drives me crazy even to think it.
