A fact from Lynching in the United States appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 20 November 2022. The text of the entry was as follows:

... that a study done in 1940 found that, in one hundred lynchings in the United States after 1929, about a third of the people were killed because of false accusations?

More modern examples?[change source]

I added one of the photos of a Lynching of 1937 (no, we don't have an article on it) - this seems to have been the first time that photos of lynchings made it to magazines/national newspapers. More modern examples:

Michael Donald, killed by the KKK, in 1981
James Byrd, 1998
Lennon Lacy, a black teenager, for dating a white girl, 2014

Details can probably be found on the EnWp page--Eptalon (talk) 20:18, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Image of a woman / group of wwomen being lynched?[change source]

I know that this may be difficult, but can we find an image of a woman (or group of women) being lynched?- Lynxching did not only affect black men, it also affected whites, and women. Since it was basically a mob unwilling to wait for a trial (they throught would never be fair, or would be too late), it mostly dependend of the majority of people in the mob, what would happen. Also, when rewriting, it needs to be pointed out that lynhings were always extrajudicial killings. Eptalon (talk) 14:39, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
