Migration to the
North
Sometime during the mid to late 1940's, Jim Harris , Sr. was
involved in an altercation with a white man in Tuskegee. The gentlemen in question,
was savagely beaten. The local Klansmen were informed of the incident and a
"contract" was taken out on his life. In order to save him, The Mt. Nebo Masonic
Lodge (Macon County, AL), of which he was a member, assisted him in leaving the
state. He fled to Ohio. The white man never fully recovered and died a
few years later. This is why the Harris's are now residing in the North. |
