W.E. A.L.L. B.E. TV: My Grandfather's Electrocution: Looking For Willie McGee

'Did He Or Didn't He & Does The Punishment Fit The Crime?'
On May 8, 1951, after 6 years, 3 questionable trials, and a worldwide celebrity endorsed media campaign to save his life, Willie McGee was put to death by electrocution for allegedly raping a white woman, Willette "Billie" Hawkins...Was justice served? And who was Willie McGee the man? Almost 60 years later Willie McGee's granddaughter Bridgette McGee-Robinson tries to find the answers to those and many more questions as she shares with W.E. A.L.L. B.E. TV her intentions of fulfilling her mother's (Willie McGee's daughter) deathbed request.
