Books | History / United States / General

On a hot summer night in 1930, three black teenagers accused of murdering a young white man and raping his girlfriend waited for justice in an Indiana jail. A mob dragged them from the jail and lynched two of them. No one in Marion, Indiana was ever punished for the murders. In this gripping account, James H. Madison refutes the popular perception that lynching was confined to the South, and clarifies 20th century America's painful encounters with race, justice, and memory.

"If you’re from Indiana a must read for sure. An accurate account of probably the worst treatments of human beings America has done. If you enjoyed the book look at pictures and publishing of the Omaha race riot of 1919!"
