Assuming that Henry Williams was black, how is it possible that he could have received a fair trial from his so-called "peers," when the Trial Jury AND the Petit Jury was all-white? Furthermore, the poll tax virtually ensures that only those with the ability to afford a poll tax can be seated on a jury, since it is a juror requirement. This is one of the purposes of the poll tax and the literacy test written in the state constitution.
