Unfortunate information

By David Amdahl, Decorah

Your “Stitch Their Names” article contained some unfortunate information. Robert Fuller, a 24-year-old, was not “lynched” as the article stated. His death was investigated by law enforcement and it was found that Robert had a history of suicidal concerns and had bought the rope shortly before with his own EBT card. 
The perpetuation of myths like this does nothing but inflame race relations. The Driftless Journal should not be one of them who does and no one else should do it either.
