In Memoriam

 

 
This page is dedicated to James Byrd, Jr. and Matthew Shepard.

Their murders shocked and depressed me.  How is it,  in this supposedly sophisticated society in which we live, that this can happen?  These murders have been described as crimes of hate.  How can one man do this do another?  But more importantly, what do we need to do to ensure that it does not happen again?  

As individuals, what can you and I do to ensure that not one more person dies as a result of a "crime of hate"?

I have listed some organizations below which can help.

In the meantime, let’s not forget James and Matthew.  
Their spirits cry out for remembrance.
