The soldier, Pvt. Felix Hall, was last seen alive in an all-white neighborhood in February 1941, according to Northeastern University’s Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project. A month after his disappearance, he was declared a deserter.

Wendy Parmet, a professor of health policy law at Northeastern University, told Forbes the law around vaccine mandates for Congress is “different” than for other employers, but that the legal case for vaccine mandates in general is “pretty strong” if some exemptions are provided.

Daniel Medwed, Northeastern University law professor and GBH News legal analyst, joined Aaron Schachter on GBH’s Morning Edition to talk about the proposed “backyard privacy” bill.

Wendy Parmet, a professor of law and public policy at Northeastern University, said that if the surge in cases begins to threaten economic recovery, we may see pushback from the business community against states barring proof-of-vaccination mandates.

When he went missing, Hall was declared a deserter. But his body was discovered on March 28, 1941, in a wooded area by a platoon performing training drills, according to Northeastern University’s Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project.

Hall is the only African American known to have been lynched on a U.S. military base, according to the Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project at Northeastern University, which researched his case.

“The overall consensus is that in most situations, mandates are legally permissible,” said Wendy Parmet, a law professor and the director of Northeastern University’s Center for Health Policy and Law.
