January 24th: Banaz Mahmod Killed (2006) Family traditions and cultures are incredibly important to some. So much so that, time and time again, people end up in situations they aren’t completely happy in or can sometimes cause them harm. On January 24th 2006 a young woman was killed for going against the wishes of her traditional family. A type of murder that is, unfortunatly, all too common in some families.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Banaz_Mahmod, https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2020/sep/21/uk-policing-why-not-enough-has-changed-since-the-murder-of-banaz-mahmod, https://www.the-sun.com/news/1553907/banaz-mahmods-mother-where-is-she-now-honour-killing/, https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/banaz-mahmods-boyfriends-brave-act-22750374https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/banaz-mahmods-horrifying-two-hour-22743855, https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1341060/Banaz-Mahmod-killers-now-Mohammed-Saleh-Ali-Omar-Hussain-Mohamad-Hama, https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-54344373, https://www.mylondon.news/news/south-london-news/honour-itv-banaz-mahmod-killers-19012925 Learn more about your ad choices.

January 23rd: Murder of Willie Edwards (1957) Our history is filled with dark events. And, perhaps, some of the darkest involved the thousands of lynchings committed against completely innocent men, women, and children, who were judged by the color of their skin, the religion they practiced, sexuality, and general difference. On January 23rd 1957 a young man with so much brightness in his future disappeared into the night only to have his abductors, his admitted murderers, walk freely for the rest of their lives.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Willie_Edwards, https://www.nytimes.com/1993/09/04/us/murder-memory-klan-special-report-widow-inherits-confession-36-year-old-hate.html, https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/2019/04/29/eji-memorializes-willie-edwards-jr-montgomery-klan-victim/3618132002/, https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/klan-forces-man-jump/, https://calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/jan/23, https://historycollection.com/cowards-behind-sheets-10-worst-crimes-committed-ku-klux-klan/7/ Learn more about your ad choices.

January 22nd: Eric Smith Born (1980) When we think cold blooded, vicious, murder we often think of large, looming, and terrifying men whom we cross the rode to avoid. We don’t often think of small, innocent looking children with glasses, freckles, and red unkempt hair. On January 22nd 1980 a killer was born who would take a life just as he reached his teen years. A boy who some think is a cold blooded danger to society and others think needs to be placed in a facility and treated for a rare mental illness.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Smith_(murderer), https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2020/01/22/child-killer-eric-smith-has-been-denied-parole/4547611002/, https://murderpedia.org/male.S/s/smith-eric-m.htm, https://13wham.com/news/local/man-convicted-of-murder-at-13-years-old-denied-parole-again, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/why-did-eric-kill-10-12-2004/ Learn more about your ad choices.
