Lynching in Alabama?

Lauren e-mailed me a link to this post from a blog called Hungry Blues. Last week, a young black man in Tuskegee, Alabama was found dead and hanging from a tree. Police said that they were leaning toward suicide as a cause of death. There are other details that weren’t reported in the story that raise a few questions.

Like another blogger who read the post, I’m also leery of this story because it hasn’t had much coverage (although suicides are normally not reported by newspapers), but there should be more investigation into the death as the circumstances make it very unusual.
