Love's Truck Stop

Shepardsville, Kentucky

October 9, 2022


So many thoughts and feelings prompted by these signs. One that is hanging with me is the descendants of the people in the mobs must carry a heavyweight knowing that one of their ancestors may have been involved in the lynchings.


The lynchings seem so remote for me -- how could these have happened only 100+ years ago? Is it reasonable to believe that the hatred that the members of the mobs felt has evaporated? Im skeptical -- it has to a degree but it is not gone.
