This is a documentary story about the murder of Lieutenant Colonel Lemuel Penn, a senseless Klan killing of an "uninvolved" black man killed in the back-country of Georgia in the mid 1960's. Two of the Klan members were found not guilty at trial in Athens in 1966. No other members were convicted of the crime. From the dust jacket blurb, "Lieutenant Colonel Lemuel Penn was black. He was wiped out by hatred - Klan hatred, cave man hatred, reasonless brute evil. And what crushed him in that year flourishes today, stronger, more arrogant than ever - a spreading stain on the fabric of the eighties." Celestine Sibley review comment on the back dust jacket, "Atlanta Constitution Associate Editor Bill Shipp, a crack reporter and masterly city editor, has turned his attention to one of Georgia's most shameful and horrifying murders. The result is a tale to remember, terrifying, disturbing, suspenseful, to be read with the resolve that this state will never again, as Shipp puts it, 'roll over and go back to sleep' in the face of such a crime." Lewis Grizzard's comment on the dust jacket, "Bill Shipp, a reporter's reporter, has deftly restructured an incredible night of Klan terror and murder on a Georgia back road that will grip the reader with the chilling reality the hooded menace still lurks in the shadows of racial hatred." From wikipedia: Lemuel Augustus Penn (September 19, 1915 July 11, 1964) was the Assistant Superintendent of Washington, D.C. public schools, a decorated veteran of World War II and a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army Reserve who was murdered by members of the Ku Klux Klan, nine days after passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. An African American, Lemuel Penn joined the Army Reserve from Howard University and served as an Officer in World War II in New Guinea and the Philippines, earning a Bronze Star. When he was murdered at the age of 48, he had been an assistant administrator for the public schools in the nation's capital.[1] and the father of two daughters and one son, Linda, 13, Sharon, 11, and Lemuel Jr., 5.[2] Penn was driving home, together with two other black Reserve officers,[2] to Washington, D.C. from Fort Benning, Georgia returning from their annual summer training camp. Their Chevrolet Biscayne was spotted by three white members of the United Klans of America[3] - James Lackey, Cecil Myers and Howard Sims - who noted its D.C plates. "That must be one of President Johnson's boys.",[2] Howard Sims, one of the killers evidently motivated by racial hatred, said then. Klansmen followed the car with their Chevy II. "I'm going to kill me a nigger," said Sims.[2] Just before the highway crosses the Broad River, the Klansmen's Chevy II pulled alongside the Biscayne. The Klansman, Cecil Myers, raised a shotgun and fired. From the back seat, Howard Sims, also a member of the Ku Klux Klan, did the same. Penn was shot to death on a Broad River bridge on the Georgia State Route 172 in Madison County, Georgia, near Colbert, twenty-two miles north of the city of Athens. Just before the highway reaches the Broad River, the Klansmen's Chevy II pulled alongside the Biscayne. The Klansman, Cecil Myers, raised a shotgun and fired. From the back seat, Howard Sims, also a member of the Ku Klux Klan, did the same. Authorities quickly identified James S. Lackey, also a Klansman, and Myers and Sims as the ones who chased the trio of Army reservists. Sims and Myers were tried in state superior court but found not guilty by an all-white jury.[4] Federal prosecutors eventually charged both for violating Penn's civil rights under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. On June 27, 1966, criminal proceedings began against Sims, Myers, Lackey, and three other local Klansmen, Herbert Guest, Denver Phillips, and George Hampton Turner.[5] Two weeks later, Sims and Myers were found guilty of conspiracy charges by a federal district court jury;[5] their four co-defendants, however, were acquitted.[5] Sims and Myers were sentenced to ten years each[5] and served about six in federal prison. Howard Sims was killed with a shotgun in 1981 at age 58.[6] James Lackey died at age 66 in 2002. Cecil Myers died 2018 at the age of 79. The historical marker erected by the Georgia Historical Society, the Lemuel Penn Memorial Committee, and Colbert Grove Baptist Church at Georgia Highway 172 and Broad River Bridge on the Madison/Elbert County Border states: On the night of July 11, 1964 three African-American World War II veterans returning home following training at Ft. Benning, Georgia were noticed in Athens by local members of the Ku Klux Klan. The officers were followed to the nearby Broad River Bridge where their pursuers fired into the vehicle, killing Lt. Col. Lemuel Penn. When a local jury failed to convict the suspects of murder, the federal government successfully prosecuted the men for violations under the new Civil Rights Act of 1964, passed just nine days before Penn's murder. The case was instrumental in the creation of a Justice Department task force whose work culminated in the Civil Rights Act of 1968.[7] Penn's murder was the basis of the Supreme Court case United States v. Guest, in which the Court affirmed the ability of the government to apply criminal charges to private conspirators, who with assistance from a state official, deprive a person of rights secured by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
