She spends
She spent most of her young adult life envisioning how love would find her. It would be a warm summer day, out on the town with friends when the subtle nuances in her demeanor catch the attention of a stunning young man. The prototypical tall, dark and handsome. He would then approach her catching her off guard as he interrupts the ongoing conversation with her friends to further get to know her. At that moment she will be calculated showing a timid and nonchalant exterior there for exciting the chase, even though excitement is consuming every fiber in her body. After the icebreaking and exchange of contact information it turns to a joyous occasion as the beans are spilled on the conversation as she returns to her friends. It will go exactly as planned!
She has spent most of her young adult life thus far thinking about how love will find her, so she spends what she doesn’t have trying to look the part and manipulate fate as much as she can to make that dream a reality.

Proper preparation prevents poor performance is what we are told so everything must perfect. The weather is warm, the girls are together enjoying the day out on the town. Many men walk by to interrupt the conversation ongoing conversation amongst them however her girls one by one vicariously live our her dream. They put in the calculated timid and nonchalant exterior while every fibre burns in excitement inside thus exciting the chase. They come back to the group and share the details of the conversation its a joyous occasion all around even though she begins to think I am just as good looking why am left out? Insecurity is now rampant, more questions arise on how to combat such fate so she sits there on her bed at the end of the day spending more time of her young adult life envisioning how love will find her.

The lynching of Michael Donald
Michael Donald was born in Mobile, Alabama, in 1962. He attending a local trade school and worked part-time at the Mobile Press Register.
In 1981 the trial of Josephus Andersonan, an African American charged with the murder of a white policeman, took place in Mobile. At the end of the case the jury was unable to reach a verdict. This upset members of the Ku Klux Klan who believed that the reason for this was that some members of the jury were African Americans. At a meeting held after the trial, Bennie Hays, the second-highest ranking official in the Klan in Alabama said: “If a black man can get away with killing a white man, we ought to be able to get away with killing a black man.”
On Saturday 21st March, 1981, Bennie Hays’s son, Henry Hays, and James Knowles, decided they would get revenge for the failure of the courts to convict the man for killing a policeman. They travelled around Mobile in their car until they found nineteen year old Donald walking home. After forcing him into the car Donald was taken into the next county where he was lynched.
A brief investigation took place and eventually the local police claimed that Donald had been murdered as a result of a disagreement over a drugs deal. Donald’s mother, Beulah Mae Donald, who knew that her son was not involved with drugs, was determined to obtain justice. She contacted Jessie Jackson who came to Mobile and led a protest march about the failed police investigation.
Thomas Figures, the assistant United States attorney in Mobile, managed to persuade the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to look into the case. James Bodman was sent to Mobile and it did not take him long to persuade James Knowles to confess to the killing of Michael Donald.In June 1983, Knowles was found guilty of violating Donald’s civil rights and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Six months later, when Henry Hays was tried for murder, Knowles appeared as chief prosecution witness. Hays was found guilty and sentenced to death.
With the support of Morris Dees and Joseph J. Levin at the Southern Poverty Law Centre (SPLC), Beulah Mae Donald decided that she would use this case to try and destroy the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama. Her civil suit against the United Klans of America took place in February 1987. The all-white jury found the Klan responsible for the lynching of Michael Donald and ordered it to pay 7 million dollars. This resulted the Klan having to hand over all its assets including its national headquarters in Tuscaloosa.
After a long-drawn out legal struggle, Henry Hayes was executed on 6th June, 1997. It was the first time a white man had been executed for a crime against an African American since 1913.
