Reflecting on a Life Stolen by Injustice
Posted: January 21, 2009 1:40 pm
Friends and family of Clyde Charles gathered in Houma, Louisiana on Saturday to mourn the death of a man who spent two of his five decades in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Charles passed away January 7 at age 55. His sister remembered him at the service for overcoming the obstacles of injustice:
“He was blessed,” Hill said. “He was dealt a very bad hand in life, but he didn’t let that stop him. … He didn’t hold no animosity toward anyone.”Charles’ family asked that donations be made to the Innocence Project in his memory. Click here to make a donation, and a message of your support will be sent to Charles’ family.
