About This Book
The pamphlet compiles contemporary newspaper accounts and an independent investigation documenting a wave of lynchings and mob violence against Black men in Georgia, recounting specific incidents of extrajudicial killings, torture, and public spectacle, and criticizing local press and officials for incitement or complicity. It contrasts official reports with an on-the-ground detective’s findings, challenges claims that such violence responds solely to crimes against women, and assembles witness testimony and press excerpts to argue that law enforcement failed to protect the accused. The pamphlet closes with an appeal to national conscience and a call for truthful appraisal of facts to secure justice.
