Thank you for doing the valuable work of documenting this story

Yes, thank you... I never heard of #TheBarn before, how could that be?

I have heard many docs on the Pacifica Radio #WBAI and many on #PBS and many podcasts, etc on this disaster event, but The Barn was skipped, it was never a major part of the #emmittill #racist murder event, to me

This goes to show, The Barn was almost erased from history

So, if you didn't know, now you do (readers on Mastodon)

This has to be the worse day of her life. Mamie Elizabeth Till-Mobley (born Mamie Elizabeth Carthan; November 23, 1921 – January 6, 2003) was an American educator and activist. She was the mother of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old youth murdered in Mississippi on August 28, 1955.

Is there a word for the opposite of a #scapegoat? For instance, the way false threats involving children have been used to drive transphobia and homophobia. The way false threats involving white women have been used to kill black men and boys, #EmmitTill to start.

What is the word for the opposite of a scapegoat: a group who is defined as helpless against an outgroup to drive fear?

If no word exists, do you have ideas?
