Henry Williams, Johnny Williams, Ennis Bell, Theodore Wesley Samuels, Prentiss McCann, and Rayfield Davis died at the height of the segregation era in Mobile, and Mobile's Black community protested each death and called for justice, but none of the perpetrators were held criminally responsible. Decades later, the Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project at Northeastern University School of Law investigated these cases, and in 2018 it brought together descendants of those who lost their lives with the City of Mobile and the History Museum of Mobile to commemorate them and reflect on their lives. The History Museum of Mobile curated an exhibition featuring materials associated with the cases, and Tennessee Street, where Rayfield Davis was killed, was permanently dedicated to him with an official proclamation issued by the city. These restorative justice measures sought to remind residents of the city and the country of the collective legacy of racial violence in Jim Crow Mobile. On August 15, 1942, Henry Williams, Private Williams, was traveling to base at Brookley Air Force when he asked the driver to keep to the schedule, and the driver shot him to death as he disembarked. On May 22, 1943, Johnny Williams disputed a transaction with Superior Cleaners, whereupon the manager shot him to death. On July 28, 1943, Ennis Bell, arrested for stealing food, escaped from jail and went home, where detectives located him and shot him to death. On April 15, 1944, Theodore Wesley Samuels, on active duty, was home on furlough and in uniform when he was beaten and then shot to death by city and military police officers. On July 8, 1945, Prentiss McCann, Private McCann, was observing a dice game when he was shot to death by a police officer, who fired the fatal shots from his police vehicle. On March 7, 1948, Rayfield Davis, fifty-three years old and employed at Brookley Field, invited a twenty-year-old white co-worker to share a beer; when the man replied that he did not socialize with Blacks, Davis, citing President Truman, asserted that Blacks would soon be equal under the law, and the co-worker then beat Davis to death.
