Greetings all,
 
I teach Black History at a local college and one of my students told me  
about the Willie Lynch letter.  I learned about it several years ago, and  was 
told that it is a complete myth, and told her so.  She challenged me as  to how
I 
know it's not true, and I can't find a scholarly source, nor can the 
campus 
librarians.
 
What do you know about the truth of the Willie Lynch letter?  Can you  point 
me to a review or article in a scholarly history journal or other journal  
regarding it?  When your students ask, what do you tell them?
 
Thanks,
 
Karen E. Sutton
