Last ditch and important attempts to affectg/prevent the troy davis execution:

Black men are disproportionately and obviously due to a racist culture, the population of US jails, and in this case there's no strong evidence for this execution:

First of all, there is very compelling evidence that Troy Davis may be innocent of the murder of Police Officer Mark MacPhail in 1989 in Savannah. The case against Davis has all but collapsed: Seven of nine witnesses against him have recanted their testimony and said that they were pressured by police to lie, and nine other witnesses have implicated one of the remaining two as the actual killer. No weapon or physical evidence linking Davis to the murder was ever found.
