COTTSBORO, Alabama -- As the process gets underway to pardon the Scottsboro Boys, nine black young men unjustly accused in 1931 of raping two white women, their unusual case is being remembered across the state and internationally.

Read about the Scottsboro Boys Act, which will allow for the pardons.

Here are brief biographies and the ages of the Scottsboro Boys at the time of their 1931 arrests, according to the PBS documentary "Scottsboro: An American Tragedy" and a trial project from the University of Missouri-Kansas City (Visit these sites for photos):

Haywood Patterson, age 18. Patterson was tried and convicted four times, more than any other defendant. His second trial was held in 1933 in Decatur and presided over by Limestone County's Judge James Horton in one of the more famous trials of the case because Horton overturned the all-white jury's guilty verdict. Patterson escaped prison twice, including once in 1947 after which was arrested in Detroit after a bar fight ended in a man's death. Patterson died in a Detroit prison in 1952 at the age of 39.

Clarence Norris, age 19. Norris was paroled in 1944 and fled the state in violation of parole, only to be returned to prison when he came back to Alabama to help the remaining two Scottsboro Boys defendants. He was paroled again in 1946 and assumed his brother's identity. He was pardoned in 1976 and died of Alzheimer's disease in 1989 at the age of 76.

Andy Wright, age 19. Wright was traveling with his younger brother, Roy, on the train that day. He was paroled in 1943 and, like Norris, fled North against his parole conditions. He, too, was lured back to Alabama with promises of leniency but was put back in prison until 1950.

Roy Wright, age 13. He was paroled in 1937 and, for a while, he joined a speaking tour with other Scottsboro Boys organized by the Scottsboro Defense Committee. After his release, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson paid for Roy to attend vocational school. He later served in the Army, joined the merchant marine, and married. In 1959, Roy returned home from a tour of duty and found his wife with another man. He killed her and then shot and killed himself.

Ozzie Powell, age 15. Powell was shot in the head by a guard in 1937 after he stabbed the officer during a prison transfer. He survived. He was paroled in 1946 and went to live in his native Georgia.

Willie Roberson, age 16. Roberson had an IQ of only 64. He was headed to Memphis to be treated for gonorrhea and syphilis when he was rounded up with the other black men on the train that day. He was not treated for his sexually transmitted disease while in prison until 1933. He was paroled in 1937. His date and place of death are unknown.

Charles Weems, age 20. Weems was on his way to see his family in Tennessee in 1931. He was paroled in 1943 and later married and took a job at a laundry in Atlanta.

Eugene Williams, age 13. He was paroled in 1937. After his release and a brief entertainment career, Williams moved to St. Louis where he had relatives who helped him adjust to a relatively stable life.

Olen Montgomery, age 17. When he was arrested, his glasses were broken and he did not receive another pair in jail for two years. He was paroled in 1937 and attempted to have a career in vaudeville. When that failed, he lived out his days in New York or Atlanta, drinking heavily.

Eugene says, "If I had to do it all over again, I would not change anything in my life. The experiences I had have made me a better person. I have learned, shared, and experienced the highs and lows of my life."

A native of East Cleveland, Ms. Wilson graduated from Shaw High School in 1982. Graduated from Cuyahoga Community College's Western Campus with an Associated of Applied Business in Computer Studies in 1995; also furthering her education at Cleveland State University. In her spare time, she enjoys writing, walking, reading and studying the Bible. Also, enjoys her family.

This is the story of Eugene. The story is actually a good guideline of life's most valuable lessons: don't steal, don't cheat, work hard. It is a story that every parent should read and share the meaning of each lesson with their children.
