HINTON: I saw this great mob of people there.
HINTON: Seven years old - yeah, I saw this and. MOSS-COANE: When you were about 7 or 8 years ago. I don't remember too many bad things about it except one lynching that I really saw once that was very frightening to me. MILT HINTON: Well, for a black guy like me, it wasn't too easy. MARTY MOSS-COANE, BYLINE: What kind of a place was Vicksburg? Milt Hinton was born in 1910 in Vicksburg, Miss. He spoke with WHYY's Marty Moss-Coane in 1988 when Marty was filling in for Terry on FRESH AIR. Hinton played with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Cab Calloway, Benny Goodman and Dizzy Gillespie just to name a few. We begin with a story from the great jazz bassist Milt Hinton, known as the dean of bassists, whose career spanned the history of jazz. We're devoting most of today's show to this dark period in American history. The memorial and a companion museum are the work of the Equal Justice Initiative whose founder and executive director, Bryan Stevenson, is a public interest lawyer who led a team that spent years combing through records to document more than 4,000 cases of lynchings. It features 800 weathered steel columns hanging from a roof, each one etched with the name of an American county and victims of racial violence who died there - some simply recorded as unknown. The national memorial for peace and justice sits on a 6-acre site overlooking the Alabama state Capitol. Last Thursday, a memorial dedicated to thousands of victims of American lynchings opened in Montgomery, Ala.
