Ferguson Brothers Lynchings On Long Island eBook
A Civil Rights Catalyst
SINOPSE
On February 5th, 1946, the Ferguson brothers were concluding a night out celebrating Charles Ferguson''s reenlistment in the Army...
Charles, wearing his military uniform, walked with his brothers Alphonso, Joseph, and Richard towards the Freeport Bus Terminal to go home. A provisional Freeport police officer named Joseph Romeika stopped the brothers over a disorderly conduct complaint. Words were exchanged, and Officer Romeika killed Charles, Alphonso and shot Joseph within minutes of the initial stop. Following the unarmed shooting, Romeikia was acquitted despite changing stories of eyewitnesses.
Discover how the shooting became a catalyst for civil rights efforts and immortalized in a Woody Guthrie protest song.
