Several Southern states have enacted what are called "Rosa Parks pardons" - or expunging the criminal records of those who were charged with minor "crimes" standing up for their American-given rights during the Civil Rights movement of the 1950's & 1960's.
Great idea - the law passed in Tennessee yet 6 legislators voted AGAINST it! I surely do wonder what their reasoning was.
