Item Description
10.25x16.25" on thin paper. The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) reproduced this ghastly 1935 image of the Bert Moor & Dooley Morton lynching to illustrate to potential Freedom Summer recruits the brutal reality faced by African Americans. Moor and Morton were accused of attacks on white women in Columbus, MS and were taken by a mob from the custody of the local sheriff. During the 1964 effort to register African American voters, over 80 civil rights workers were beaten and at least three were heinously murdered. A pair of light horizontal creases w/age toning along these folds on reverse.
