His grandfather was lynched in Fort Worth 100 years ago. He never it knew until last year

Fred Rouse is the only recorded African American to have been lynched in Tarrant County. His grandson and several non-profits seek healing by sharing his story.

[@cljoe35]

I understand where this story is coming from but finding this out in modern times is devastating. I would feel upset too. There were thousands that went through this cruel punishment. The sad part is it still happens in a different form today.

[@ayyb6789]

No they are still lynching African American people. Here there you hear about a black person being found by hanging. And then lie and say it was by suicide. They supposedly Hung theirselves on tree.

It’s really horrible that all these atrocities happened to the black slaves but does anyone talk about what’s happening to other ethnic peoples in this country and around the world. Let’s keep bringing up the past so we can all stay simmering in hate from 300 years ago. No wonder we can’t get along.
