Early 1931, a freight train crowded with homeless and unemployed hoboes was making its way through northeastern Alabama when it was stopped by an armed posse close to the small town of Scottsboro. Nine black boys suspected of having scuffled with whites aboard the train were arrested. Before anyone knew what had happened, two young women stepped forward with a shocking accusation : they had been gang-raped, so they claimed, by the Blacks on the moving train. So began one of the most significant and dramatic legal controversies of the 20th century. Before it was over, almost twenty years later, the Scottsboro case would divide Americans, along racial, political and geographic lines and it would for the first time focus international outrage on the treatment of Blacks in the American South.
