The Texas House shined light on a century-old massacre in an East Texas town where a band of hundreds of white, gun-toting men slaughtered more than 20 unarmed blacks. The white men were never put on trial and the incident has been largely forgotten.
Rep. Mark Veasey, D-Dallas, filed the resolution in an attempt to acknowledge the atrocity and he vowed to investigate further what happened that day in July 1910 and "why the wheels of justice stopped turning."
