George Stinney

George Stinney was a 14-year-old African American boy who became one of the youngest individuals to be executed in the United States in 1944. He was wrongfully convicted of the murder of two white girls in South Carolina, a case that drew national attention due to its racial implications and the flawed judicial process that led to his conviction. Despite evidence of his innocence, Stinney was sentenced to death and executed by electric chair, highlighting the deep-rooted racism and injustice prevalent in the American legal system at the time.
