Salem, Massachusetts for a day trip August 8, 2011 |
 In
1692, Salem was gripped by a hysteria that captured the world's attention
and now symbolizes the tragic consequences of intolerance and injustice.
A few girls accused hundreds of people of witchcraft and persecuted them,
causing bodily harm and pain. The legal system of the time allowed spectral
evidence and made it impossible for the accused to defend themselves against
innuendo, fear and a rush to judgment. Over the course of 10 months, twenty
innocent men and women were put to death. This chapter in history is so
significant it is often taught in schools around the world. |

| On this date, Salem was a perfect walking city. Almost everything was within a half-mile square block downtown, with a fat red line painted on the sidewalk showing the way. | |
