Gives incredible yet disheartening insight into the ugly, dark history of the American South

History continues.

This book is a compilation of 100 years of newspaper articles covering lynchings of black people all over the United States. North and South. Lynching of men, women and children, performed for the sport and entertainment at the hands their fellow citizens. A detailed look at state sanctioned hunting and torture of human beings.

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.

Outstanding content

This was moving and some on the acts were remembered by my grandparents. White AmeriKKKa should be ashamed. No I’m not for BLA, this have been hijacked by LGBTXYZ. I’m on code with the #NFAC

The very sad and disgraceful history of the United States of America.

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.

One of the most powerful books I have ever read!

Makes me reconsider War crimes,the meaning of barbaric and the good ole USA? The book was brutally honest backed up by facts!

Devestating and heartbreaking but an important account of a horrible part of our past.

Incredibly difficult.

Incredibly important.

One of the most important books to read to understand racism in America: it's all here, laid out in all its brutal, horrifying, evil forms - lynchings, torture, immolation, mob murder, etc. Incredibly difficult to read. The presentation is powerful - Ginzburg presents newspaper articles sans commentary because none is needed - the horrifying atrocities speak for themselves.

This book is so eye opening and shocking!

I never knew that over 6 thousand lynching occurred in the US. As well as how large of event it was in the US. We are never taught how horrible this was. US history is not taught and that is why we have issues. Great read! Highly recommend.
