On July 8th,1944—almost exactly eighty years ago—Private Booker T. Spicely was headed back home to Camp Butner after enjoying an evening in the Hayti neighborhood of Durham. He was unaware it would be his last. In the darkness of that night, he would become yet another victim of Jim Crow “justice.” Now Spicely’s story is being brought into the light by playwrights Mike Wiley and Howard L. Craft.
