The Scottsboro Boys were nine African American teenagers falsely accused of rape in Alabama in 1931.
They were denied due process and faced biased trials in a racially charged environment.
Despite lack of evidence, all but the youngest boy were sentenced to death.
The case garnered national attention and led to multiple appeals, eventually reaching the Supreme Court.
While the boys were eventually released from prison, their lives were forever marked by the injustice they endured.
