"Look Grandma,
I put on my Sunday best and went to the lynching.
Wish you were here!"
We have all seen awful photos of lynchings, but this site sheds light on an even more despicable practice, the turning of those photos into postcards.
Really helps to show the role of lynchings in terrorizing and how flagrant and widespread the practice was. Especially helpful is that the example come from everywhere from California in the 1930s to the Deep South of the 1890s. Most are explained in depth.
