30 Years of Lynching In the United States: 1889-1918 - Hardcover

by Ntl Assoc Advancement Colored People (Author)

Until the recent outbreaks in Germany, where, under revolutionary conditions, a few lynchings have taken place, the United States has for long been the only advanced nation where government has tolerated lynching. In presenting this material we have refrained from editorial comment, restricting our text to a brief summary of the facts. The cases included in this book were authenticated by evidence from recognized newspapers or confirmed by a responsible investigator.
