Similarites and Differences-Danielle Barron

The Scottsboro Boys case and Willie Mcgee's case were very familiar and different in many ways. A very obvious similar thing about the stories is that all the black men involved were accused of raping white women. Back in the 1930's whites and blacks were to stick to their own colors when it came to dating one another. Just the thought of it seemed crazy to the people back then. All of the black men in the stories were all setenced to death at some point, but the only one who actually died due to a death sentence was Willie McGee. The Scottsboro Boys got out of jail years after being on trial. The Scottsboro Boys might have been inocent, but yet stayed in jail for so long with no clarified story. Willie McGee never spoke up and still had to serve a death sentence. Both stories take on the role of black men and white woman being together when they are not supposed to be, rather the girls wanted it or not.
