Snippet:
The death of Tasia Fortune, a Black woman found hanging in Mississippi, stirred distressing memories of the grim U.S. history of lynchings. Jarques Ratliff, who is also Black, has pleaded not guilty to murder in the case, and police and prosecutors haven’t given a suspected motive. (AP video/Kristin M. Hall)
