Scottsboro Boy
By Haywood Patterson and Earl
Conrad.
Nearly 20 years ago, nine Ne
gro boys were jerked uncere
moniously off a freight train at
Scottsboro, Ala., and accused of
the rape of two white hobo girls.
“Scottsboro Boy” is the story of
what happened to these young
sters, aged 13 to 20, of their trials,
their sentences, and their impris
onment.
The story is told in the words
of Haywood Patterson, one of the
group. The writing is that of
Earl Conrad, for many years a
newspaperman, one-time editor
of the Chicago Defender. The
style is dramatic, with the dy
namic expressiveness in many
places of Richard Wright's “Na
tive Son.”
Although the tale drags on, seem
ingly interminably, it maintains
interest because of the incredible
prison conditions it relates.
Atrocities pile on one another.
Animals receive better treatment
than Patterson claims is accorded
to Negro prisoners in Alabama’s
“Jim Crow” jails afld prison road
camps.
Documentary statements aug
ment most of the claims regard
ing the trials and sentencing.
There is plenty of room for doubt
whether “due process of law” ap
plied in their case.
Patterson escaped from the
prison camp after serving nearly
18 years of a life sentence. He
now waits in his room “some
where up north” for either free
dom or the law to claim him.
Judging from the way he tells
the story, one-sided as it must
be, it is no wonder that the sub
title of “Scottsboro Boy” is “The
Story that American Wanted to
Forget.”
