Richard Williams close to being killed so many times

Richard Williams was no stranger to racism. Growing up in Shreveport, Louisiana, in the 1940s and ’50s, he says he witnessed a friend being lynched.

Another died after being run over by a white woman who claimed it was the victim’s fault. “There was no investigation, there was no police car,” he says. “But that was life. I was close to being killed so many times. A hell of a lot of times.”
