Some people
might be offended or upset by these images but
this isn't my intentions I just want it to be thought provoking and
enlightening,
and for people to talk about the past and to never forget, because we
need to learn from past events other wise we will keep repeating
history.
This
is a famous picture, taken in 1930, showing the young black men
accused of raping a Caucasian woman and killing her boyfriend, hanged
by a mob of 10,000 white men. The mob took them by
force from the county jail house. Another black man was left behind and
ended up being saved from lynching. Even if lynching photos were
designed to boost white supremacy, the tortured bodies and grotesquely
happy crowds ended up revolting many.
