R.I.P, David Creed Rogers

Sad news [link]:

David Creed Rogers, 85, one of the last remaining links to Washington Parish's bloody civil rights legacy, died Monday at Good Samaritan Nursing Home.

And excellent news:

"We have some very hot leads on this case," Jim Bernazzani, special agent in charge of the FBI in New Orleans, said.

It's a shame Mr. Rogers didn't live to see justice. He surely wanted to.

But he isn't the last remaining link to those times. The last links are the people who know -- the people who need to unburden themselves by calling the FBI, before they've gotta try and explain it to St. Peter.

Get on the phone and do the right thing, folks. Help put the murderers in prison where they belong, and truly end Bogalusa's sordid legacy of lynchings and killings and bigotry.
