About 225 credentialed journalists were at California's San Quentin State Prison as Stanley Tookie Williams, a former leader of the Crips street gang, was put to death by lethal injection, according to a spokesman for the state Department of Corrections. Despite the heightened controversy in the black community over the execution, none of the media witnesses was a black journalist. Source: Journal-isms
