"Mafia is a good word with which to conjure up prejudice and hide unpleasant truths. It had been and is, so used by the press all over this country; but I think, if ever the real facts come out (and they may) it will be seen that the late Chief of Police was murdered at the instigation of individuals, out of fear that he would be instrumental in letting their enemies loose upon them, and not by any organized Society." British Consul's Report, New Orleans, March 26, 1891. In 1891, when a court of law found nine Italians not guilty of the murder of the New Orleans Chief of Police, an angry mob decided to take justice into its own hands. The result was the worst lynching in American history: eleven Italians were lynched while still in police custody. The repercussions of this horrible incident can still be felt today. The xenophobia of the time created negative stereotypes that are still common. This book explores new possibilities of what actually occurred and who was really to blame.

In the post-civil war American south, the despicable act of lynching was commonplace and considered to be a form of vigilantism that was used to murder African Americans for alleged “crimes” ranging from acting suspiciously to “insulting whites”. In “The Red Record”, Ida Bell Wells-Barnett records statistics concerning instances of lynching and offers vivid descriptions of the extrajudicial killings in an attempt to galvanise the public into action and put an end to such horrifying practices. Ida Bell Wells-Barnett (1862–1931) was an American educator, investigative journalist, and leading figure of the civil rights movement. Having been born into slavery in Holly Springs, Mississippi, Wells was freed in 1862 during the American Civil War by the Emancipation Proclamation. From then on she dedicated her life as a free woman to fighting prejudice and violence, founding the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and becoming the most famous African American of her time. Contents include: “The Case Stated”, “Lynch-Law Statistics”, “Lynching Imbeciles (An Arkansas Butchery)”, “Lynching of Innocent Men (Lynched on Account of Relationship)”, “Lynched for Anything or Nothing (Lynched for Wife Beating)”, “History of Some Cases of Rape”, “The Crusade Justified (Appeal from America to the World)”, “Miss Willard's Attitude”, “Lynching Record for 1894”, and “The Remedy”. Other notable works by this author include: “Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All its Phases” (1892) and “Mob Rule in New Orleans” (1900). Read & Co.

This book remembers one hundred years since Black Wall Street and it reflects on the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Black Wall Street was the most successful Black business district in the United States; yet, it was isolated from the blooming white oil town of Tulsa, Oklahoma, because of racism. During the early twentieth century African-Americans lived in the constant threat of extreme violence by white supremacy, lynching, and Jim and Jane Crow laws. The text explores, through a Womanist lens, the moral dilemma of Black ontology and the existential crisis of living in America as equal human beings to white Americans. This prosperous Black business district and residential community was lynched by white terror, hate, jealousy, and hegemonic power, using unjust laws and a legally sanctioned white mob. Terrorism operated historically based on the lies of Black inferiority with the support of law and white supremacy. Today this same precedence continues to terrorize the life experiences of African-Americans. The research examines Native Americans and African-Americans, the Black migration west, the role of religion, Black women’s contributions, lynching, and the continued resilience of Black Americans.

The mother of Emmett Till recounts the story of her life, her son’s tragic death, and the dawn of the civil rights movement—with a foreword by the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. In August 1955, a fourteen-year-old African American, Emmett Till, was visiting family in Mississippi when he was kidnapped from his bed in the middle of the night by two white men and brutally murdered. His crime: allegedly whistling at a white woman in a convenience store. The killers were eventually acquitted. What followed altered the course of this country’s history—and it was all set in motion by the sheer will, determination, and courage of Mamie Till-Mobley, whose actions galvanized the civil rights movement, leaving an indelible mark on our racial consciousness. Death of Innocence is an essential document in the annals of American civil rights history, and a painful yet beautiful account of a mother’s ability to transform tragedy into boundless courage and hope. Praise for Death of Innocence “A testament to the power of the indestructible human spirit [that] speaks as eloquently as the diary of Anne Frank.”—The Washington Post Book World “With this important book, [Mamie Till-Mobley] has helped ensure that the story of her son (and her own story) will not soon be forgotten. . . . A riveting account of a tragedy that upended her life and ultimately the Jim Crow system.”—Chicago Tribune “The book will . . . inform or remind people of what a courageous figure for justice [Mamie Till-Mobley] was and how important she and her son were to setting the stage for the modern-day civil rights movement.”—The Detroit News “Poignant . . . In his mother’s descriptions, Emmett becomes more than an icon; he becomes a living, breathing youngster—any mother’s child.”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “Powerful . . . [Mamie Till-Mobley’s] courage transformed her loss into a moral compass for a nation.”—Black Issues Book Review Robert F.

"More than a simple true-crime narrative, this rural Missouri family's unsolved murder spawned an ugly life of its own, encircling countless lives in three states for three years. This story and its characters deserve to be lifted from the obscurity in which they've slumbered for 150 years. Second, the book illuminates the shadowy world of bounty hunters working as unscrupulous private detectives in post-Civil War America. No book-length, in-depth treatment of this epic of multiple interlocking narratives has ever been published. Incredibly, everything is here - murder, scandal, revenge, gunplay, courtroom drama, perjury, a posse or two, sexual scandal, a lurid lynching. The cast runs from washerwomen turning the occasional trick to storekeepers, jailbird drunkards, farmers, and ambitious lawyers. The entire Spencer family of five was murdered with the blunt end of an ax as they slept in their modest home in Clark County, Missouri, in 1877. These ghastly murders generated two sensational murder trials, both of which received a measure of national coverage at the time. The first man accused was the one who discovered the bodies. His trial ended in an acquittal because a professor at a local medical college refused at the last moment to testify to blood evidence essential to the prosecution. The accused was probably not the murderer in any case. More than a year later, a second trial involved a wealthy, locally despised farmer who was framed by a bounty hunter posing as a detective, using the farmer's former housekeeper and mistress as both accuser and chief witness. Following a lengthy and scandalous preliminary hearing, the accused farmer - Bill Young - was bound over for indictment and trial. Before the trial could begin, newspapers both pro- and con- weighed in on the case, the evidence provided by the bounty hunter continued to grow, and the bounty hunter's felonious past was exposed. Convinced that he could defend himself in court, Young fired his lawyers, but immediately had to find others. Unaccountably, he secured two exceptional attorneys - a future attorney general and a future governor of Iowa - to defend him. Though acquitted, the accused was hanged by a lynch mob three days later, the mob being led by the bounty hunter posing as a detective. The bounty hunter's scandalous fake marriage to a teenager and his flight out West was followed by his capture and jail time. Eventually his case was heard by the state supreme court which required that the bounty hunter go free. After 150 years, can the real Spencer family murderer be identified?" --back cover.

Whether conveyed through newspapers, photographs, or Billie Holliday’s haunting song “Strange Fruit,” lynching has immediate and graphic connotations for all who hear the word. Images of lynching are generally unambiguous: black victims hanging from trees, often surrounded by gawking white mobs. While this picture of lynching tells a distressingly familiar story about mob violence in America, it is not the full story. Lynching in America presents the most comprehensive portrait of lynching to date, demonstrating that while lynching has always been present in American society, it has been anything but one-dimensional. Ranging from personal correspondence to courtroom transcripts to journalistic accounts, Christopher Waldrep has extensively mined an enormous quantity of documents about lynching, which he arranges chronologically with concise introductions. He reveals that lynching has been part of American history since the Revolution, but its victims, perpetrators, causes, and environments have changed over time. From the American Revolution to the expansion of the western frontier, Waldrep shows how communities defended lynching as a way to maintain law and order. Slavery, the Civil War, and especially Reconstruction marked the ascendancy of racialized lynching in the nineteenth century, which has continued to the present day, with the murder of James Byrd in Jasper, Texas, and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s contention that he was lynched by Congress at his confirmation hearings. Since its founding, lynching has permeated American social, political, and cultural life, and no other book documents American lynching with historical texts offering firsthand accounts of lynchings, explanations, excuses, and criticism.

Winner of the 2020 Rhetoric Society of America Book Award While victims of antebellum lynchings were typically white men, postbellum lynchings became more frequent and more intense, with the victims more often black. After Reconstruction, lynchings exhibited and embodied links between violent collective action, American civic identity, and the making of the nation. Ersula J. Ore investigates lynching as a racialized practice of civic engagement, in effect an argument against black inclusion within the changing nation. Ore scrutinizes the civic roots of lynching, the relationship between lynching and white constitutionalism, and contemporary manifestations of lynching discourse and logic today. From the 1880s onward, lynchings, she finds, manifested a violent form of symbolic action that called a national public into existence, denoted citizenship, and upheld political community. Grounded in Ida B. Wells’s summation of lynching as a social contract among whites to maintain a racial order, at its core, Ore’s book speaks to racialized violence as a mode of civic engagement. Since violence enacts an argument about citizenship, Ore construes lynching and its expressions as part and parcel of America’s rhetorical tradition and political legacy. Drawing upon newspapers, official records, and memoirs, as well as critical race theory, Ore outlines the connections between what was said and written, the material practices of lynching in the past, and the forms these rhetorics and practices assume now. In doing so, she demonstrates how lynching functioned as a strategy interwoven with the formation of America’s national identity and with the nation’s need to continually restrict and redefine that identity. In addition, Ore ties black resistance to lynching, the acclaimed exhibit Without Sanctuary, recent police brutality, effigies of Barack Obama, and the killing of Trayvon Martin.
