I have seen two news stories in the past 6 months about Jackson, Mississippi.

1. The white state government is removing the locally-elected judiciary of the majority black city and replacing it with unelected, white-appointed courts.

2. Hundreds of bodies have been found buried behind the jail, many of people never charged with a crime who were reported by families as “missing”.

These are fundamentally the same story.
