June 22, 2007, 1:06pm (report abuse)I'm so glad to hear that after all these years of living in a society that condoned unjust treatment of African Americans in this country that our government is taking steps in the right direction to right some wrongs that have needed to be resolved....this Act is a long overdue.
Hopefully, now those criminals who have been at large will now be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and those families who have lost loved ones may finally see justice served.

November 18, 2007, 11:19am (report abuse)I thought for sure the Senate would take a vote on the Till Bill, prior to, Tnanksgiving Recess. My African-American Friend suffered an aggravated assault and felonious battery on Sept 6, 2007. A lead pipe was taken to her skull and across her face, dislocating her jaw with surgery necessary to stop the bleeding. The only suspect was the white male from the community college. Then just ten days ago, Debbie was missing; I immediately knew... she was missing because of her intentions, to appeal to, funds from the Till Bill when it becomes law. Indeed, the irony of this most grevious crime is that this white male suspect is getting support from the College Adminstrators, Local Police Officers...one of the Police Officers is also African-American. Please call me: 508-685-9369

My friend has been subject to depression and weight loss since this crime was committed. Please have someone call me//508-685-9369. Know that I tried to get help for her when it first happened. Police report and ambulance report remain missing. Nov. 18, 2007
