There is a monument in Atlanta on the Georgia State Capital to the "33 ..legislators of the Georgia General Assembly expelled because of their color."
The problem I have is that in some of the reports of this event, 28 or 29 were actually expelled. Four others were not expelled because they looked "white." That is, they were less than 1/8 black.
I am trying to find out if this is actually true or some kind of urban myth.
Thanks...
