Back to the tree?

 

"Republican State Rep. Paul Sherrell is no longer on the Tennessee House’s Justice Committee after sparking outrage last month by calling for “hanging on a tree” as a method of capital punishment. In early March, the committee was discussing a bill to add new options for state executions when Sherrell said: “Could I put an amendment on that that would include hanging on a tree, also?” The lawmaker faced calls to resign in the wake of the suggestion, which was grimly reminiscent of the dark history of lynching in his state."

Has the Tennessee Rep. visited EJI's Lynching Memorial in Montgomery?
