On 21 March 1981, two members of the United Klans of America forced nineteen year old Michael Donald into their car. After being kidnapped he was beaten, his throat cut and his body hung from a tree. In 1987 a jury found the Ku Klux Klan responsible and sentenced them to pay seven million dollars to Donald’s mother. His murderer was executed in 1991, the first non African executed for a crime against an African American since 1913.         Michael Donald
