[Most agree that the prosecution of killers whose identity was an open secret has had a salutary effect. But with witnesses and suspects dying off, there are not likely to be any more successful prosecutions, said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which built a monument to civil rights martyrs in Montgomery, Ala.] The point of doing all of this is so that we as a society can move forward, ... And the time is really coming when we really are going to turn and face the future.
