Jim Crow

This is where to start if you want to cover this subject.

American Radio Works also has a great story about the subject.

Don't forget my lynchings postcard post, too.

If a picture's worth a 1,000 words how much is a postcard worth?

"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.
