This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing the Atanta Child Murders which were a series of murders that occurred in Atlanta, Georgia between 1979 and 1981 and resulted in the deaths of approximately twenty-nine people (the majority of which were children). An Atlanta man named Wayne Williams was eventually arrested and convicted of the murders of two of the adult victims…but still, to this day, no one has officially, legally been charged with any of the other murders…in particular, the murders of more than a dozen children. There are many people that do not believe that Williams was responsible for the deaths of all these children, including some of the parents of the children. In fact, there is some evidence that perhaps the KKK may have been involved in potentially upwards of fourteen of the murders.
