Mississippi: White Men Kill Black Minister and Steal Over 270 Acres of Land

19 Posted by - April 2, 2023 - Heartbreaking, Injustices, LATEST POSTS

During the 1940s, it was rare for a black person to have control over an enormous amount of land. However, Reverend Isaac Simmons from Amite County, Mississippi, owned than 270 acres of debt-free land. His family is said to have owned the land since 1887, and worked the land producing crops and selling the wood. It was not long before rumors began to spread that there was oil in southwest Mississippi.

A group of six white men decided to show up on Simmons’ land and warn him to stop cutting lumber. Simmons consulted with a lawyer to work out the dispute and ensure his that the property would belong to his children in the event of his death.

The men shot Simmons three times, cut out his tongue, and told his son that the family had ten days to get off the land. Three days later, Reverend Simmons was buried and his family fled the area, so the killers took possession of the land. Later, an all-white jury acquitted the only one of the six men to face trial for murder.

    So with this being a true story, why can’t the justice department reopen the case, and get the land back for his descendants?

    • Evelyn May 8, 2017 - 12:03 pm

      Because the Justice department, like any other political department is corrupt. Have you ever heard of anyone getting there mule and an acre? NO

            I’ve heard about situations like this, I grew up in the 40s I’ve seen some hideous things happen close to that, in 1947 my stepfather accompanied his boss man that own the land that he , my stepfather share cropped, he had taken with him to pick up some farm equipment in clarksville Mississippi to take it back to Portage ville Missouri, clarksville Mississippi had a big banner at the city limits stretched across a building entering the city that said if you can read NIGGER, run, if you can’t read run anyway, I witnessed this folks, I was 8 years old, but to finish the story, his boss left him in the car and went to have drinks with his friends, Three white teenagers dragged my stepfather out of the car and drove in the backwoods of clarksville and beat him unconscious and left him in the woods to die, he never recovered, he died 3 months later from his wounds, they were never charged with a crime, this is the kind of hate and prejudice I grew up in. It made me bitter for a long time and made hate white people for a very long time, until I said to my self, it was 3 white boys not all white people and it made me realize hate had no place in my life, I’mstill very cautious around whites, especially southern whites because I believe southern whites today have that hate for black people, I want even drive through Mississippi today. Evil have got to live their still they treated blacks like dogs, it’s not much different today. Eddie

            Fuck you and that myth God the Whit man gave him to took this wowcontinent North, Central and South America from us. They are the US Corporation of America not the continent of America that is ours. Wise up and wake up they go this land for free you are 3/5 of a human being so it is written and they are on our shores and they have no home just about any place they may be. They are afraid of you waking up and Uniting. That is the reason for the police terrorism. So if they did that then it will happen now, this land is ours. They are no longer the majority.

            No but that’s what white people did in those days n got away with it because of the color of their. Justice should be served giving them back their land.

          • Sam June 23, 2019 - 4:33 am

            The man was a preacher… If Jesus didn’t stop them then, what makes you think he’s gonna do something later? Keep waiting on Jesus and see how many more atrocities happen on his watch.

            Take the land like they did the only way to deal with this shit is to stop being scared and go get what’s yours.

            Sadly this JUDICIAL SYSTEM was not nor ever will be designed for MINORITIES..especially Blacks who have and still endure the most harshest treatment in a country who once lived by ‘The Land of the Free’ slogan.

            Until people of all colors come together on one accord there will never be PEACE we dont have to love anyone but RESPECT of others lifestyles and beliefs should never be judge or criticized at the end of the day we all live on the same planet…Hatered should never be instilled in children’s mind before allowing them to KNOW a person or group of people

            White Men been doing this kind of intimidating of black people stealing their land especially when they think it may have oil on it or other minerals

          • IsaacsGreatGrand September 18, 2019 - 6:56 pm

            To answer the question ” did the family get the land back?” I am one of William Isaac Simmons’ many great-grandchildren. I grew up hearing about this through his eldest daughter, my grandmother, who died in 1983. My mother was 9 years old and this man, her Big Papa, was the love of her life. Our family is still trying to get testimonies from the last living witness to the kidnapping, another granddaughter who was 4 or 5 at the time–in her 80s now. A great-aunt who also witness his kidnapping from the house would not speak of the event after the grand jury acquittal. She took her story to the grave because the men promised to return and finish the rest of the family off. The fear that has terrorized them for decades still haunts many family members as we try to gather the pieces to speak up for him. We have all seen in the last few years that legal institutions still do not stand up for us. I personally don’t see the prospect of getting land back after 74 years. Furthermore, there are too many of us now to share. However, restitution and reparations are another matter, which those also have not vigorously supported. But please believe we are working on the story. Thanks for your kind thoughts!

        • Bria May 29, 2019 - 1:54 am

            You’re so right! Money is the only way to hurt white people, but our people are not willing to unite in reality! We will continue to take whatever ! Rather than come together to help one another! Sad, but true!

          • Lonna P Johnson June 1, 2019 - 2:27 pm

            Something needs to be done by the family. Boycotting is way more sufficient than protesting. We must let the U.S know they need our money …in order for us to be heard….but first we must take care of our own dark legacies. Our youth is out of control ..we as a people can not ask other races to respect us…when we are killing one another and do not respect our own selves

          • Shandee40 June 1, 2019 - 5:08 pm

            Bria You are so right. Honestly, we can say this until we are blue in the face, but our black people do not understand protesting is the only way to get them to address and acknowledge our concerns and issues.

            It’s time for. Lack people to begin to trust black people. There is God, we are not him, he created us, not the other way around. Many white folk learned to read the hieroglyphs before us, and they learned to manipulate the thr Truth…the Bible. It’s time we stood for more than Black lives mattering, it’s time we stood for Colored People Only

          • Dr. Valerie Ann Grimes, Th.D June 3, 2019 - 7:46 am

            March into prayer is the best advice that the Holy Bible tells you. I grew up marching with my ma about political and civil justice. It only draws attention to the power that God has given you, it draws the police department from other emergency matters where backup is needed, and if God has not called the March we sin against His authority concerning what we are marching about. Nowhere in the Bible did the Disciples in good standing call for a March, instead Christ Jesus also pronounced Yeshua in Hebrew taught them to pray.

        • Jabbar X May 29, 2019 - 11:18 am

          There is a lot of stories like this. My great grand uncle owned 100 acres. Some white men came and forced/beat him into a contract to work his land. He unwillingly signed an X for his signature because he could barely read and write. The contract included the sale of the generation property of one cent per acre. They took our family’s 100 acres for one dollar. Phuck this racist ass world and all the evil racist in it ! Death, suffering and eternal fire is your destiny!

            You know. Christians who believed in god are the ones who got you ALL the freedoms you have to this day. Yet here you are causing separation and divisions instead of banding together.
            I have a suggestion.

            Shut up complaining and let those of us who believe in god, continue fighting for our races advancement while you lay around and enjoy the benefit of pur sacrifices.

          • Victor June 13, 2019 - 10:47 am

            Kevin, how about you shut up! What have you personally done with your religion for the advancement of black and brown people? And many could argue that Christianity has been pacifying black people since it was impregnated into our culture. How can you possibly fight white supremacy by bowing down to a white Jesus? Christians have cause more crab pot thinking within the black community than white people. How can you live your life based on something that white people WROTE for you? Wake up and start thinking for yourselves. Jesus didn’t save you from slavery, Jim Crow, lynchings, police brutality, nothing. So let’s not act like he is going to help your black ass with anything else.

THERE IS NO STATUE OF LIMITATIONS ON “MURDER” , AND IF THE VICTIM DIED BECAUSE OF THE LAND QUESTION….THEN ITS HELD EQUALLY SO TO THE THIEF OF LAND THRU MURDER !! WHETHER THE PERPETRATORS ARE ALIVE OR NOT !! THEY STILL SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO “WILL” STOLEN PROPERTY BY MURDER, TO THEIR CHILDRENS !! I TRULY UNDERSTAND WHY THOSE AFRICAN NATIONS TOOK BACK THE LAND FROM THE “EVIL EUROPEANS” THAT STOLE AND MURDERED THEIR FORE-PARENTS FOR THE LAND 2 TO 3 HUNDREDS YEARS BEFORE ! THE CHILDRENS THINK THAT SINCE THEIR PARENTS DONE THE CRIME, AND ARE DEAD, THEN THEY GET TO KEEP ALL THE STOLEN GAIN GOTTEN THROUGH THEIR PARENTS ! (WRONG!) CAUSE IN THAT CASE…I MAY AS WELL, GO OUT HERE, AND ROB ALL THE RICH “WHITE COMPANIES” AND , HIDE THE LOOT, AND TELL ONLY MY FAMILY WHERE IT IS,( BUT NOT HOW I GOT IT), THEN , FIGHT THE CHARGES OR DIE TRYING….YET, MY DECENDANTS GET TO INHERIT ALL THE LOOT !! BECAUSE , IT CAN’T BE “LEGALLY PROVED” TO BE CONNECTED TO A ROBBERY, OR THAT I COMMITTED THE CRIME !

It time for black men to stand up . first on your home’s and then we can make an impact on our nation . I hate to be I’ll treated because of the color or my skin .White racist people will do anything to you , they never want us to have what they have , but I have more that a lot of whites have already . Black people win millions in lottery and just waste it because they are ignorant . A man that has the wisdom of God would put it to good use .

          you should read Deuteronomy explains that we will never prosper in the land this will give us an understanding of why we are treated the way we are and why we will never be able to rise above the so-called white man until the prophecy has been fulfilled . just because they learn to stop killing us ( well to be honest they still do just different now a days )do not mean that we are not enslaved we are still the same people that came over here years ago that’s because a lot of us don’t know who we are you don’t understand you are the Hebrews in the Bible that have been a hidden culture for many years

            Preach! We won’t be fix until our people has reconcile with God. We don’t know who we are to this day. Our identity was completely stolen from us. The Book says when the Hebrews return to the homeland there will be peace. It also states that their will be false Hebrews.

          My mother march with Dr King on several occasions with doing the civil rights era.
          My father and mother taught there children’s to stand and fight. They believed that the most powerful weapons to used against your enemies was wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
          It time that African American should get over the lost, move on, and focus on the world. We need representation on international stage as investors and entrepreneurs. The only way we will ever become a nation of of people that can be effectively influence on a global scale, we must invest into our HBCU universities and colleges. We have a tendency to quickly forget about how we got to where we came from came from and how we got this far. Education still the answer, encourage your children to attend HBCU universities and colleges. Invest into your HBCU universities and colleges, and help them to be competitive in the field of education. The HBCU universities and colleges is your reparation, it all your going to get from white American. The weapons of your warfare is in your hands.

            Question for u Sir….im from Lima Ohio but my family is from Jackson n Brandon Mississippi. My question is how can i find out where my great great grandfather Shad Branch is buried or where he lived when he was alive. He was known to live in Brandon Mississippi n supposed to have died in 1934. He was born around 1850s… He married Lizzie Minor in 1876 July 21… He was a farmer on the cenus sheet but i think he was a slave. I live in norfolk Virginia now. If anyone has advice for me…..please email me. The genealogy says he was last known to live on rice st. In 1934….i know the name of that street has probably been changed after all these years.

            Dear Angie, I am an African, from Nigeria, to be exact, South Eastern Nigeria, of the Efik/Ibibio ethnic group, you may wonder why the length introduction, it’s to simply convey a messy, hoping you’ll understand. No revolt, struggles, riots, marches or anything of the sort will free people of darker skin colours, knowledge and a change.of our narrative is what will create. Paradigm shift. We are hated for reasons few of us ever get to know. To share a secret, we are not really hated but simply envied and hunted, for being wealthy and I mean wealthy, right now what we are facing is extermination, so human being of other races can take over Africa and the few left overs would be slaves here and the rich ones emigrate to first world countries from where they will.sing discordant tunes in the name of seeking freedom, no don’t revolt, go back to discovering who you are and your place in the scheme of things in the affairs of races. I am writing a book, you will hear from us. Meanwhile do not look across the Atlantic deeply, ask yourself how come north Africans a light skinned, how come from Ethiopia to Senegal and from Sudan to South Africa despite the inexhaustible natural resources we are termed poor? It’s a battle that’s been going on for over 2500 years, they’ve almost won, they will if you revolt, look back across the Atlantic. What do you know about you?

          Sadly, this is one of numerous reports of black landowners owners in the south losing their property thru either coercion, deception, or outright thievery. In some cases land was lost thru tax property tax issues, etc. One thing is crystal clear and that is thanks to black landowners in the south, the civil rights movement would not have been possible without these landowners providing a “safe harbor” for people to gather. These people are the unsung heroes of the movement in addition to groups like the Deacons for Defense and Justice spearheaded by men like the late Robert Hicks.

Religion was created to control the masses, and that they’re still working on a one world order, just not on this planet! Imma scientist and I know, we’re all crazy. Ask questions sometimes, this is the worst world ever and there’s no more parting of the Red Sea. All the starving children, but no manna. Imma skip over the whales digestion system with Jonah ?. King James killed had his own momma killed. The most popular man, but most of my people don’t know that the letter J only been around for 4 hundred years. What was he doing from 1 to 12, why not more info, or 13 to 30!? Really ? Find out more about Constantine besides what they tell ya. Measure the boat with all the animals!! Come on my people. It wasn’t just Christianity it was Muslin and Judaism! They were all made up. It’s been proven time and time again, but black peoples are the most holiest people. How is that working for you!?

          This saddened me that in the 21st century that we are still dealing with a corrupt justice system.
          Mr. Simmons family rightfully owns that land. The state knows it and the families that live on that land will never have peace.

          We have to take a stand people and form a coalition to help resolve some of injustices that have taking place over the years.

          Starting with proven the land is Mr. Simmons and how the land was acquired by the people who say that they own it now. Documents and proof is necessary. Then we need to fight like never before. Stand our ground and not be afraid. We have lived in fear long enough. It is time to put courage in front of fear in order to get justice. Pray people, take a stand, know who you are voting for. When we band together we are STRONG ???. Stop fighting one another because that is the William Lynch theory to destroy each other. We are decendents of Kings & Queens. We are NOT thugs, and butty shakers we are royalty. Wake up & let’s unite to win back our land. God bless

Clean up our selves and focus on Unity. We can Stand proudly if we join on a strong foundation. Meaning we got to be correct and knowledgeable.

            Bruh if you don’t believe in something you’ll fall anything! First all Christianity, Muslims, catholic and etc. we’re created by man if you read study and research you will find that the Dead Sea scrolls and Holy scriptures were only written for The Most High’s chosen people the Israelites which are scattered among other nations which includes the black people that are in America who are the true jews so the nations have taken the scriptures and have created there own religion so the white Jesus Christ whom they have created is their savior when the truth is the Messiahs name in the Hewbrew language is Yahawashi which they stripped from our ancestors during the early of captivity!

          • Frederick Lewis May 28, 2019 - 9:22 am

            Why is it that white racists are always telling black people to leave, as if the racists own America and blacks are not invested in America? Blacks have as much ownership of America as the white racists. America would never have become the financially great nation it became but for the blood, sweat and tears shed by black people. Our suffering under the terrorism of white supremacy and centuries of uncompensated labor paid in full our ownership in America. In fact we overpaid and are due a refund. But as is the nature of the white supremacist, you won’t pay your debt and now want to evict us from land we fully bought and paid for. Demons oprate that way.

            It should be the Native Americans telling you people to leave. Your ancestors stole the land from the native Americans like they stole native Africans from Africa. You don’t have the right to tell anyone to leave.

So sad that at a point the judge had put a gag order on the case to keep us black folks quiet. SMH MISSISSIPPI JUDICIAL SYSTEM.

      Blacks in this America has 1.4 trillion dollars in spending power, and only control one tenth of a percent of economic wealth in this country. The point I’m making is why continue to spend your hard earn money with someone who wants you dead. The country of Ghana, said this is the year of return. And will to help any Black person than returns the opportunity to buy land get and help create a better life for themselves and the country it self, as l do. It has been a proven fact that Black people on this planet are the only true Humans. All other, white and Asian are the DNA of Esau, who was the original caveman. Because they are carbon copies and hybrids which is why they have a negitive 0.2 birth rate. Their DNA can not sustain it self. Why do you think all these young black people are being murdered for their organs, but this is something that you will never be told. If you don’t believe me, than read the book of Enoch from the Bible. Enoch was the great grandfather of Moses, and the only human to have a face to face with the Lord most High.

You sent us in Spirit covered us in dirt called us humus beings, spirits in dirt cleanse my people hearts=minds to pray to get direction and cause your power to fill their minds=hearts. Let them learn how to use the very system twisted to keep them down and give them wisdom and understanding to left themselves by economic power and development.

Now, all white folk’s aren’t evil, but you see one like that, they will try make the others follow their lead, if not they will, threaten them. That land belong to his heirs and they should get every acre or the money.

They should be able to get that property back and they should be able to get the value of the land, any oil profits or other real estate investments, assets and capitalism they had made for the past 70 plus years. This family has substantial evidence that this event has happened and they also had an attorney (name with legal documents) at the time. At least they should get their reparations!

    are okay with owning blood land.

  • Michelle August 10, 2017 - 1:52 pm

    The descendants of Mr. Simmons could bring a federal civil suit against the descendants of the known murderers(since there is court records) for violation of civil rights and wrongful death etc…and they can’t retry the original case as that would be double jeopardy unfortunately. But this is the way they can and should get justice for Mr. Simmons death and the land that was stolen.

    of course… you know how the story pans out… white man got jealous, made up a lie and a gang of over 300 something whites went around killing blacks…. no prosecution or convictions for their crimes…

  • Donna Marie Bell May 22, 2018 - 9:21 pm

    Oh and as far as the very least for what they did to my great grandfather them and all their decendents should have to pay for what they did because guess what? We had to pay for not getting our rightful inheritance! And again what the courts failed to reveal to this day is the extreme details of how herrendous this murder was! They cut off his genitals and stuffed them in his mouth and then they cut out his tongue! You tell me what kind of punishment would be equal to what they did to my great grandfather? You tell me what punishment would be able to repay what these animals took away and lied on top of lied and covered up so much more than was revealed that the dead buried it with them and we will never know all that was hidden because who would believe a black person in 1944 when racism was so prevalent and even still exists to this day because even if we tried to uncover this terrible evil there are descents of these evil people still living on our land who would do any and everything not to have the truth revealed and yes living on bloody land! But Isaac won’t rest until they pay because his blood is on that land still crying out for justice

    We need to take back what is ours, by any means neccessary

  • Antoinette Nelson May 6, 2019 - 8:30 pm

    I hope everyone in this post will support and demand reparations which include the return of stolen land by greedy Northern investors that hired vigilante groups to threaten and intimidate black land owners. The Australian government recently awarded the Aboriginals billions in reparations including sacred land stolen from them. Even slaveowners were awarded reparations by the US government after slaves were freed and this is documented in the US State Dept Archives. If the US Hovf can give Israel over $250 billion for foreign aid in addition to other billions in foreign aid to other countries, allow mega corporations to not pay federal taxes yet hand over $billions to desaturated these companies to open up corporations office in their state then this same government can give us what they owe in today’s wages with interest. African Descendants of Slavery can set up a Trust in their ancestors name who were born before 1858 and name a panel of responsible family members as executors to set guidelines to access funds from the Trust. Land ownership should be predicated on a member being financially independent to manage, maintain and cover taxes each year. The time is upon to take back what’s our in making this country the most wealthiest and most powerful country in the world. REPARATIONS NOW!!!

    Anyone who diesnt do right by us will have Gods justice. For whom shall they fear themselves or the one who could make tgeir children suffer, take health from their bodies, the one who can implode tgeir children on them from the evil they have not made amends or reparated.

    • Zeke June 14, 2019 - 1:32 pm

      What about your justice? So if someone harmed your loved one right in front of you? Would you act or would you pray to God in that instance? This is the reason why blacks are being slaughtered. No action just prayer.

  • francis mcanarney May 9, 2019 - 7:06 pm

    • HuMan June 24, 2019 - 9:59 am

      If this happened to a white American and it was perpetrated by black Americans those perpetrators would have been hunted down and slaughtered by the populace of White America. So then why is it that these freed slaves still Act as if they are indeed still slaves? Their system which allowed them to steal an entire country from its indigenous people will never Grant any reparations, to be paid by White America, against White America that require them to give up that said land. The simple truth is that they get away with harming their freed slaves because their freed slaves still behave with the mentality of a slave and thus they are to cowardly to respond appropriately. Such is the mind-state of a traumatized people who have endured centuries of beatings, killings, rapings, and castrations. Black America wants Justice then Black America will have to stop responding with the thought that God will indeed fight their battle for them because even the Jews carried swords and the Bible is full of several war accounts. Stop praying and doing nothing instead Pray and Fight back! Like a Man Should.

    True, that the emancipated slaves, never got the 40 acres and a mule because after the assassination of Pres. Lincoln, VP A. Johnson was sworn in as president, he scrapped Lincoln’s plan. The story of Rev. Simmons is common. Atrocities beyond human comprehension ran amock and the victims (all Black) did not have protection other than to appeal to the Federal courts and still winning was a very rare commodity. The same fate occurred in Texas not only to Blacks but the Mexicans who decided to stay in Texas after THE BATTLE OF THE ALAMO. The whites were envious of the wealthy Mexicans who owned arable land with huge estates. Many of those owners were killed and conned by the gunslingers of the time, with approval by the local authorities. Although the agreement between Texas and Mexico was that these property owners would receive the same protection as an American, in the Lone Star state. he deals was broken. Back in the 1990s, there was a case pending from descendants of such families. I think it is time to investigate the results. I will do that.

  • Ivan Butcher II May 28, 2019 - 8:03 am

    Since there is no limitation on murder cases, now with documented photos and court records that can identify the Victims and their Murderers, this is where the historians and researchers, who love to correct and lecture, could be devoting their efforts in researching out and identify the Murderers and their benefactors for retribution and restitution for their crimes.

    • Queen Jones May 28, 2019 - 10:01 am

      Ivan, this is one of the most reasonable comments I have read.

      Are there any organizations willing and able to take on the higher courts in this matter? How much are they willing to sacrifice and deal with because this is no small task for them. Once they step up to this they must be willing to look this situation all the way in the face.

      Seek no minimum and reach for it all. Mr. Simmons descendants should be well taken care of for the disgraceful way he left this life.
      I am just putting it out there.

      If we stand and speak the same language we WILL WIN…
      As a people WE MUST UNITE.

      If we keep waiting in God to do what we are capable of doing we will not have full victory in what God has revealed unto us. Render unto Ceasar what is his…law of the land

  • Annie Lackey May 28, 2019 - 6:37 pm

    My name is Annie Ruth Lackey, and I would like to share my horror story with you concerning the persecution I’ve been suffering for over the last 50 years by the hands of some people that I trusted, including some public servants that’s employed by the city of New York, who committed fraud amongst other crimes as their actions should be considered abusive and wasteful, especially since it is being done on the taxpayer dime.

    • I’m currently awaiting to hear from the investigative agencies on my letterhead to contact me with the Hope’s that they will investigate and prosecute all whom committed crimes against me and my children.

    • All my many efforts to obtain legal help has been fruitless as it seem that someone has been blocking my every attempt to be heard as my constitutional rights has been grossly violated.

    • It is in my belief, that the motive of these unscrupulous individuals is theft. I’m 77 years old, and I’ve been the victim of elder abuse amongst other crimes, by these individuals. 

    • The tactics that’s being used against me still to this date in writing includes psychological warfare, slander, posting false reports about me as a way to discredit and smear my good name, harassment, wrongful imprisonment, kidnap, constitutional deprivation, repetitious vandalism and even attempts on my life has been made amongst other crimes.

    • This is a criminal complaint and I need my concerns investigated by the responsible authorities that handles such crimes that I’m describing. 

    • Please help me have my voice heard especially because of the imminent danger to life and health to me and my children. 

    • Please review my complaint and feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions. 1-332-999-0157 orboochielackey@gmail.com 

    • Thank you in advance for your consideration.

    • Attention:

    • NYC District Attorney, Cyrus Vance Jr.

    • Attorney General, Letitia James

    • United States Attorney General, William Barr

    • Ever since I was told that I would be named administrator of the Lackey Estates, in Covington Georgia, by my cousin Wavey Lackey, in the spring of 1969, my life had been chaotic and turn upside down by unscrupulous individuals. The Lackey Estates, was established by my great grandfather, Allen Lackey when he amassed a huge amount of land in Covington Georgia.

    • Shortly after that I was convinced by the drew daycare facility to enroll my eldest son Ward into Dr. Margaret Lawrence, (Harlem Hospital) hospital program for kids simply because they said that he wouldn’t play with other kids.

    • Next Dr. Lawrence, and a host of social workers convinced me to enroll him into a “boarding school” called Childville (a division of the Jewish child care association) because that would correct his problem of being shy and him not playing with the other kids and also deceitfully informed me that public schools would not accept him because of that fact.

    • I was very reluctant at first, but I eventually agreed because Dr. Lawrence was African American which was very important during the late 60’s and that being the civil rights era. 

    • Also she seemed like she actually cared for his well-being and because of that she gained my trust. I was instructed by Dr. Lawrence, to withhold Ward out of public school because of his imminent unacceptable by them and wait until Childville open up because it was finalizing its construction stages.

    • I always knew that Ward, were a very smart boy but I didn’t realize that he were a genius.

    • I found out during my visits to Childville that my son Ward, was a mathematician, had a photographic memory and a calendar mind after one of his teachers showed me all of his accomplishments. I was later told that only 4 people known in existence can do what he did. These events happened during the summer of 1970 and thereafter.

    • In the early part of 1974, I informed Childville that I’m canceling Ward’s enrollment into their program because of the peculiar way he started to behave and the changes I’ve noticed within him. That’s when they informed me that I’d no longer had any legal rights to my son Ward, as I signed all my rights away to them. Childville was located at 440 east 88th street, between 1st and York Avenue, in Manhattan.

    • It was around that time that I started experiencing the frequent vandalism and became the subject of rumors throughout my neighborhood. I was being kept busy with new found problems therefore it became impossible for me to properly look into what my cousin Wavy, promised me.

    • But one thing I knew for sure, 
    • And that was I were going to rescue my son from Childville as I exhausted every legal option to remove him from their program. So after one of Ward scheduled weekend visitation to spend time with me and his brothers, I refused to return him back to that institution of horror.

    • On April 11th, 1974 Police officers from the 42nd precinct and social workers force their way into my apartment and arrested me and I was subjected to a strip search and taken to rikers island where I spent one night.

    • My 3 other children, Trevis, Sheldon and Sean was taken to a group home where they each was subjected to some unknown inoculation, absent parental consent. Shortly afterward all of them exhibited different physiological problems regarding their health.

    • I was awarded custody of Trevis, Sheldon and Sean, after my release, however Childville secured an order of protection against me and I wasn’t allowed to see my eldest son Ward for another 10 months.

    • Of course, I did what any mother would do, I fought tooth and nail for the right to get my son Ward, back with no avail. I even broke their order of protection and went to Childville to rescue him, but a counselor by the name of Harold Beasley push me down the stairs.

    • After much fighting Ward, visitation rights to spend time with his family were eventually restored in February of 1975, I once again refused to return my son back to them, and warned the staff at Childville, that they would have to kill me if they wanted him back this time. They allowed me to keep him this time, but their attacks intensified greatly against me.

    • Ward was much different after I rescued him from Childville. He had been sadistically abused and drugged amongst other monstrous crimes while he was in their care and that’s when they established his psyche history to cover up the crimes that they committed.

    • They started working through NYC hospitals and the board of education to continue their illegal human research on my son Ward, where they force me to put him into their COH program under the care of Dr. Lehman. His mental health started to steadfastly deteriorate under his care and his years in the NYC public school system.

    • They were relentless on their persecution on me as they had recruited my husband Columbus Johnson and other close relatives and friends to aid them in their evil agenda against me.

    • I found salvation in my life when I started studying with Jehovah witnesses in 1975.

    • It gave me a real sense of hope as I discovered the truth about Jehovah’s promise for mankind and I quickly took to it to heart and dedicated my life to Jehovah through baptism.

    • My religious affiliation with Jehovah witnesses angered the conspirators as their persecution intensified against me.

    • It is in my belief that even some of them infiltrated into Jehovah’s organization for the sole purpose to spread rumors about me and to insure that nobody would ever come to my aid because of the fact of what started to happen to me within the Christian Congregation. 

    • Sadly, I even started being treated differently by some within my Congregation as rumors started spreading about me throughout the Kingdom Hall.

    • I just kept on drawing close to Jehovah and kept relying on his holy spirit to protect me so that I can go on about my life on a day to day basis in serving him and seeking the much needed help for my son Ward. The conspirator were relentless as they never let up on the continued persecution on me and my children. I felt like Jehovah’s servant Job, because of all the suffering I were going through daily.

    • They eventually was able to take control over 2 more of my sons Trevis and Sean. Over the years as they got caught up within their system over different and very questionable circumstances to say the least. They did something to my youngest son Sean, as he became a different person and started working on the behalf of the conspirators.

    • My other son Trevis were illegally experimented on while he were in their care and he became severely damaged because of that fact. Both Trevis and Sean died as a result of their illegal experimentations and I’m asking for the appropriate authorities to conduct a murder investigation regarding their deaths because of that fact.

    • My granddaughter who was fathered by my son Sean, was legally in my custody. She was “legally” kidnap in a Gestapo type manor at the age of 13, in 2005, by the conspirators with the aid of family court, Police officers from the 19th precinct, children services and other unnamed individuals. 

    • Supervising Judge, Susan Knipps, ordered this atrocious attack on me and “kidnap” my granddaughter all while choosing to ignore New York State Family law, by refusing to place her with her uncle who was willing to take her as he was her nearest family resource. The deliberate malfeasance of this judge needs to be investigated and her actions should be considered child abuse amongst other things.

    • My granddaughter was subjected to forced drugging and other sadastic acts amongst other atrocities while she was placed into foster care with unknown unscrupulous individuals.This is child abuse of the worst kind!

    • There is no statue of limitations on child abuse and kidnap. My children and grandkids had been sadistically abused by these conspirators. I’m asking the appropriate investigative agencies to please look into this matter.

    • It was during this time they came up with a elaborate plan to psychologically evaluate me in order to take away my voice to report these atrocities and take control of my affairs and property. They even tried to use some of my Christian brothers to try to encourage me to consent to their psychological evaluations which I promptly refused because of all the treachery I experienced from the conspirators in the past.

    • My son Sheldon, came to my aid and went to Adult Protective Services to inquire about what were going on and to find out what’s the basis of their claim.

    • Then my case was marked unfounded after his inquiry into their scheme, however the conspirators waited for a more appropriate time to continue their attack on me.

    • When my granddaughter returned home after her “kidnapping” she were a different person. I couldn’t see it at first but all type of strange things started happening. Some how they got to her as she had turned against me and became a dangerous individual which lead to me removing her from my household a few years back and severing her from all my affairs.

    • It came to my realization that she did much damage to me and my son Ward after her return from her kidnapping over the years. I realized how Jehovah had been protecting me as he interfered with whatever evil plan the conspirators had in store for me.

    • I’ve been the victim of numerous criminal activity such as vandalism, kidnap, slander, betrayal, psychological abuse amongst other atrocities including numerous attempts on my life.

    • They also have an unusual interest in my son Ward Johnson. He has been kidnapped numerous times through NYC hospitals and their misuse of New York State mental health laws.

    • Ward has been severely damaged and stripped of his abilities that he once possessed with the aid of corrupt doctors and psychiatrists over the years by way of illegal human research and unnecessary drugging and hypnosis amongst other things.

    • I’m asking the appropriate authorities to conduct an immediate inquiry into this matter especially because of the imminent risk to life and harm by these twisted conspirators as to regards to my son well being. 

    • In fact, me, and my surviving son’s, (Ward and Sheldon) and grandchildren lives are in grave danger from these conspirators and I’m imploring the appropriate authorities to investigate because of the fact that it seem like the conspirators had been allowed to operate with total impunity for over 5 decades.

    • The gross human and civil rights atrocities that we had suffered over that time were unimaginable and their actions should be considered monstrous and criminal by your agencies.

    • No one is above the law according to our constitution and the laws of this land. I myself depends on Jehovah my God to deal with these crimes in his own time and manner as he sees everything especially since I have this matter in prayer. Nonetheless, it’s my civic duties to report these crimes to your agencies once again as I done so many times before in the past. Jehovah, my God, sees everything!

    • For the last 14 years, the conspirator had been trying to have me psychological evaluated to silence me and take control of my affairs and property amongst other wrong doings.

    • *In 2005, they sent Adult Protective Services to my household in a elaborate plot to take me and my eldest son, Ward Johnson who is under my care and put my Granddaughter into the foster care system on fictitious allegations. 

    • *In mid December of 2006, I went to metropolitan hospital because I had issues with my eye and I wanted to get it checked out, I was detained by 4 hospital cops who drag and subdue me and forced me in their psych ward for 11 days. While there, I refuse to eat any meals or talk to their doctors. Upon my release, I reported this incident as a kidnap which fell upon death ears from the appropriate authorities.

    • *On July 31st 2016, officers from the 19th precinct responded to my home when I called them to report a burglary. The next thing I know i was forced into a chair and painfully handcuffed and then tied up and forced back to metropolitan hospital where they kept me overnight and released me the next day after I refused to cooperate with their psychological evaluation.

    • Presently, at this time in writing, a frivolous case was bought into court by some unknown person that provided false testimony as to regards to my mental health as a way to take hold of all my affairs, financials and property.

    • The conspirator has a way to mobilize some people that are very close to me and use individuals of various professional (housing, city workers, etc) status to persecute me amongst other heinous wrongdoings. 

    • Individuals such as Dr. Candace Hacker, was use to enter a false testimony against me regarding my mental health status, so that they can take control of my property and affairs amongst other things.

    • A judge’s order was in favor against me for some unknown person to take control of my affairs, property and financials even though I never step foot in their court room or been evaluated by Dr. Haker or any other psychiatrist. 

    • Now I’m a person without any income because some unknown person now receive my check from social security, as they was named my representative payee. 

    • I suspect that the real reason for the judge’s order was to give someone control over my great Grandfather property that my cousin promised to give me, and secondly it can be use to coverup their crime of kidnapping me when they physically force me into a psych ward amongst other past crimes committed against me, and lastly the judge’s order left me destitute without any income or any means to survive.

    • The court decision ignored the fact that I have a son, Sheldon who checks in on me and his brother, not to mention the fact that he’s my proxy.

    • The court decision also left me penniless as I became a person of little means due to the constant persecution I received from the conspirators.

    • I’m a 77 year old elderly lady that depends on my social security check to survive and they sign my money over to a total stranger whom I know nothing about which I think should be considered intolerable from your agencies.

    • This is not Nazi Germany. I shouldn’t never been allowed to suffer all these horrendous crimes throughout the 5 past decades. This act of terror shouldn’t be allowed to happen here in this present day and time.

    • Whoever is responsible for this fictitious case against me at this time of writing, along with the fraudulent testimony of Dr. Candace Haker , is where your investigation should begin. There you should find the link between whomever stole my Great Grandfather, Allen Lackey property, which he deemed to be heirs property and the individuals who had been tormenting me for over the last 5 decades.

    • Our lives are in grave danger and there is imminent risk to life and harm from the hands of these unscrupulous individuals.

    • Please conduct an immediate inquiry at once into this very serious matter. I’m reporting a crime; and this is my testimonial!

    • Please investigate!

    • Sincerely,
    • Annie Ruth Lackey

    • Kelly Washington June 22, 2019 - 9:16 am

      We have to create the alternatives first before our people can follow that very correct response. Right now it is impossible for our people everywhere to comply with this and actually live. Well the important parts anyway. Some people don’t have any other choice where they live. In order to get supplies to live. They have to go to walmart because it’s the only place they can get what they need. That needs to be addressed first. WE have to have our own alternatives in every community in the most obscure cities and towns as well as the major black hubs. Stop eating skittles now? Yes that can be done instantly. But some other steps need more work and safe reliable convenient options and alternatives before they can be realistically implemented..

    This.is horrible.amd there are so many stories like this. African American and Indian land was and still is stolen.

    Amen Robin! It breaks my heart what happened and that is how the majority of whites feel. We are not like those few and it makes angry for them to have so much hatred and murder in their hearts. Their day is coming! God does not see color. He created all of us. I love everyone and would give anything for his Family to have the land that is theirs. Shame on those who killed that sweet man. They should all be punished! They probably died a horrible death because you cannot be like that and it not come back to you. I love all of you and pray for a peaceful loving America???

    We pray to yeshua Hamashia the Lord God of all justice, ll speedly restore the broken heart of Rev simmon through the generation of his blood line… would also urge all the black people in West remain original in everything…. honoring the Lord God of Israel…. Christianity was not in West but east the Africa..

  • Joseph June 3, 2019 - 7:49 am

    The West has a negative influence on the African nation s, “situation ethics” has been the norms, we are lost,we no longer know who we are but original photo copy, robot s and puppets in lifestyle,dress chord in the name of human rights and civilization………

    To answer a question earlier ask is there anything the family can do absolutely both from a legal and a physical perspective. I have seen cases like this before and instead of just making it about race which we know it is make it about the law the law is clear in contracts and in real estate chain of title which is what I would challenge here

  • Hollis Robinson June 13, 2019 - 9:38 am

    This was standard practice back then, y’all! The EXACT same thing happened to my grandfather and his land in South Carolina. My mother is 92. My grandfather was born in 1900. They owned the land for a time, but the White folks took it from them and that was that. Happened in every Southern State. My family bought back a small piece of the land and we ain’t EVER giving it back no matter what!

  • Justice Graham June 13, 2019 - 10:27 am

    SEE, THAT’S OUR PROBLEM AS PEOPLE OF COLOR.. WE ALWAYS SCREAM, LET JESUS HANDLE IT, WHEN WE HAVE BEEN WRONGED, INSTEAD OF GETTING UP OFF OF OUR ASSES AND DOING FOR SELF.. LETS RAISIE SOME HELL FOR A CHANGE!!! IT HAS BEEN HUNDREDS OF YEARS AND NO INTERVENTION FROM JESUS.. MAYBE HE WANTS TO SEE IF WE ARE GOING TO ACT ON OUR OWN BEHALF.. PRAYERS WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD!!! STAND UP PEOPLES!!!

    Mitch McConnell, reparations can be made to the Simmons family. You have the information. How about getting it done! Today!

  • Johnny Strickland June 22, 2019 - 1:53 pm

    One guy said there you go with that God bullshit, and he is right. Not just this incident but many more, where is your God, God is on there side.2 Corinthians 4 whom the God of this world has blinded the minds of them who believe not lest the light of God will shine upon them and they will be converted. We worship and believe in God. And the very bible you read tells you there is no God, Isaiah, before me there was no God neither shall there be after me. And we continue to worship and praise God. The bible States you have made my people’s forget my name for your Gods. Open your eyes and see listen and hear and understand. We praise and worship what the devil wants us to.it is there God, why you think they are in charge and living because their God is in control, we praise jesus and that name was a God to them, it is the name of the first slave ship to bring African American slaves to the United States, jesus of Lubeck. We have to turn after from there God and go back to our heavenly father Yahweh and his son Yeshua………..

  • Bonnie June 23, 2019 - 1:41 am

    I was listening to Cornell West talking about reparations and justice. He brought up a good point.
    If every Black man woman and child received compensation in money, education, healthcare coverage , jobs, community improvement, money!! that was agreeable to the majority…
    Would it ever be enough?
    Would the anger ever be healed?
    Would justice ever be served?

    Would you still have interracial prejudices between light skinned and dark skinned African Americans?

  • Mark June 23, 2019 - 1:05 pm

    Be careful people, people are losing pensions, homes etc. Nowadays the same way but using less obvious , more “sophisticated” tactics.

  • Girth Brooks Jones June 23, 2019 - 1:48 pm

    White people are the closest thing to the devil until the real one gets here,,,not all whites are bad though

    • Kenny Muhammad June 23, 2019 - 9:16 pm

      The white man is the devil. A devil is what a devil does They dont all act as devils but they are of a devil race. Just as all snakes aren’t poisonous but a snake is a snake one is poison and one is not but the nature is the same

        You get no argument from me, Muhammad.

  • Kenny Muhammad June 23, 2019 - 9:09 pm

    Question is who are today’s owners of the land since they are descendants of the men who stole the land?

  • Troy Hawkins June 24, 2019 - 10:10 am

    Why can’t criminal justice lawyers in mississippi go and do a legal title search of the land and find who the rightful landowner is?

  • Donald White June 24, 2019 - 11:09 am

    There was so many instances of this happening. It happened to my grandfather here in Texas. My grandfather owned 400 acres. The white man won my grandfathers trust and the white man new my grandfather could not read and stole have of the land. The half he stole was the best part which had a river running thru it. The rest is still in my family.

  • Charles Robinson June 24, 2019 - 12:08 pm

    That’s what happens when they know the only thing we’ll do is march and pray tti a deity that looks just like the oppressor keep in mind it wasn’t that fictional character the”J” word that helped free slaves y’all let me know when y’all figure out what most be done our oppressor has

  • Barry June 24, 2019 - 12:21 pm

    We should all protest for our next generation of all children that land belong to Grandchildren and more

  • Khadijah Shakur June 26, 2019 - 4:30 pm

    Nothing has changed in that racist ole Misissippi…..goddamn Mississippi!

  • Just another guy June 27, 2019 - 2:29 am

    If this is a true story then it is truly sad. The justice department wont reopen the case because the remaining family ran away and abandoned the property from what I read. If a descendant had gone to claim the property before it was claimed by anyone else then they wouldnt have lost it. None of it sounds fair at all but the way the law is written, it is legal. Laws know no color, creed, or religion. The people that we keep voting into these influential offices of power, year after year, because the young folks wont go vote and when they do vote they dont do their research. Black people in America didnt get a fair shake for a long time and I think that’s terrible but there is absolutely nothing that can be done to change the past (except learn from it). I’m a huge believer in giving people a hand UP and not a hand OUT, but we have an entire generation of kids that would rather steal, kill, lie, cheat, sling dope, quit school and just generally run wild! There have been some travesties occur that involved black people in the last few years wherein a white man or a cop killed them and in some of those cases it was ABSOLUTELY uncalled for and I hope those particular people are dealt with accordingly. That being said, those actions shouldnt condemn an entire race (isnt that what this is all about to begin with?). Anyway, those black people that were unjustly killed by cops or anybody else were all tragedies and will be missed daily but what about all the innocent children and young people that have been caught in the cross-fire of gangs and street violence? Why are we not protesting and marching on that? Why arent we holding our own communities responsible for bringing down an entire generation? Why arent we reporting all these known drug dealers that are recruiting our kids to do their dirty work? Why arent we reporting all the pimps that are turning out 12, 13, 14 year old girls? Why arent we running these gangs out of our neighborhoods? Why are we so scared to tell these known bad people that we dont want them around anymore? We gotta clean up our neighborhoods and communities before we can change the world! I hope one day we can all live together without so much hate… I dont know a single one of yall but I love yall and I’ll stand beside any of u if it means bringing us all together again.

    I’m not surprised they have stolen everything that don’t belong to them. Why r they so jealous of us

  • Billy November 10, 2019 - 4:31 pm

    Literally the whole Duke’s of Hazard show was about a family trying to keep a mining company from stealing/extorting their land from under them. We call these kinds of thieves Carpet Baggers. Of course only one got charged with the murder, probably the guy with the gun doing the talking..

  • MK January 5, 2020 - 9:18 pm

    The land will have to be returned to the Simmons family the same way it was taken-by force. Who is on the land now? It is not their land. Why still talk about it?
