It is amazing to me that YT requires the actual lynching photos to be blocked. This story is true and should not be censored in any way.

[@gordonlumbert9861]

KZbin automatically blocks lots of historical stuff. Nothing unusual here.

My mother grew up in Tennessee witnessed a lynching as a child in the early 1940's. She told me the story many times and she had lifelong trauma from it.

Please like If you just learned something new about our black history.

I hope there are very few likes. This information should not be new to ANYONE.

@@user-bo1rj2xu2s There are dark souls out there who will deny that lynchings ever happened and want to re-write history. The Holocaust is a good example. You tube is full of Holocaust deniers.

​@@user-bo1rj2xu2s still if you like it it will help with the algorithm, some more people can see it.

It crazy that they thought they were decent folks . How can you live with yourself?

The NAACP, Walter White, & everyone else whose efforts contributed to the passage of the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act on March 29, 2022, exemplify the idea that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice,” as stated by the Honorable Martin Luther King Jr.

[@AbolitionForAll]

I wish we could shorten the length of that arc and bend it more toward justice.
