Stories

Do you have a lynching-related story? While all requests for anonymity will be honored, persons who may have participated in a lynching, witnessed such an event perhaps as a child, or been victimized in some way by an American lynching are encouraged to send along their stories. Obscure information related in some way to a lynching could also be helpful. Stories that have been passed down to descendants are also most welcome, i.e. if an ancestor in your family tree was lynched. We are also seeking written accounts or other documentation, published or unpublished, of specific lynching events.
