Herman Wallace died yesterday.
He died a free man after spending over 40 years in solitary confinement in the Louisiana penitentiary known as Angola.
A federal judge ordered him released earlier in the week. Even then Mr. Wallace had to fight the power of the state as officials refused to release him until the judge threatened to hold them in contempt.
Although the victory was all too short, it was a victory nonetheless.
