My great grand parents said that she was dating a mixed black guy.
and it looked white...only a few people knew the he was actual black.
they knew that their parents wouldn't approved of there relationship.
so they keep it a secret.when she got pregnant they threw the baby over the bridge..they word got around about...and then some of the people in the town was going to lynch billie jo...as he was running to get away...they had both sides of the bridge blocked..as they apporached him he jump off the bridge instead of being lynch.
