"Cured" is truly a story about the power of forgiveness. In 1962
in Choctaw County, Alabama, Carl Ray an 18-year-old black man was
questioned by an older white man; but when responding, he failed to
address the man as "sir" as was then customary when speaking to
white men. The man severely beat him for being disrespectful. Still
enraged, the man later showed up at Ray's home, and shot his father
eight times on his front porch steps; murdered him in cold blood as
the terrified youth looked on helplessly. During the farce of a
murder trial that followed, the white man's lawyers blamed Ray for
causing his own father's death because he had failed to be
respectful. The man was charged with second degree manslaughter.
However, he never served a day in prison for the murder.
Ray was burdened with the guilt of causing his father's murder;
his life would never be the same. In 1984, he was released from his
self made prison of guilt when he forgave his father's murderer.
Ray attributes the act of forgiving the man to have been his own
life saver.
