Black men executed in 1951 for raping a white woman are granted posthumous pardons

The 'Martinsville Seven' - seven black men executed for raping a white woman in Virginia in 1951 - were posthumously pardoned 70 years later. The simple pardon doesn't exonerate the men but acknowledges that their due process rights were violated. The men were under the influence, couldn't read the confession that they were signing, didn't have lawyers during questioning and had all-white juries.

What’s done is done. Let’s focus on making sure it doesn’t repeat itself
