#BrianKemp ordered the arrest of the first African-Americans elected to the Quitman school board – whom he charged with the felony crime of ballot stuffing! The #Quitman10 were paraded before cameras in handcuffs and orange suits, like they were terrorists in Guantanamo. #gapol
All charges were dropped — eventually — but not until one school board member, Latashia Head, who suffered from lupus, died. Her father said the cause was “stress brought about by Brian P. Kemp.” gregpalast.com/marching-vigil… 
In our film, Vigilante, we talk to local journalist George Rhynes, who extensively covered Kemp's persecution of the #Quitman10. Ahead of the #GeorgiaRunoff elections on Dec 6, Rhynes wants to hold a showing of our film in Quitman, but he needs your help. gregpalast.com/georgia-screen…

And right now, with #Georgia's Dec 6 #runoff looming, #VotingRights activists are asking for our help to set up screenings. gregpalast.com/marching-vigil…
