The trials of the Scottsboro Boys started back in 1931, but they're still impacting our country every single day. That's why the author of "Scottsboro Unmasked: Decatur's Story," says it's so important we don't forget the story of those nine young men. “Our society is so quick to forget but these are instances that we don’t need to forget, and they say as soon as you forget, history is easily repeated," said Peggy Towns.
