this is a hard read. it’s just really telling how hateful people was and to some degree still are. i think this country has come a long way but still has a lot of more work to do. especially when we see the parties that be continually trying to force racism on people.

One of the hardest things I have had to read, but a must. I also didn't necessarily want to rate this with 5 stars. But as far as books go, it got the point across. It will also be a must read for suggested curriculums for the enlightenment of the human species and it's potentiality to go the unenlightened route... and it's consequences.

Provocative publication in that there is nothing sensationalized in this book. It is literally just an archive of all the lynchings of African Americans that went unnoticed during this time period. The facts speak for themselves in this long and sad listing of periodicals detailing the deaths of one Black person after another in the United States. Another essential reader for an accurate and honest account of American history. Turning a blind eye to a body of work like this is willful ignorance of realities that continue to take place in the U.S.
