Some Analytic Tools to Judge if the End of Lynching Happened

If you’ve seen some of my columns, you many have noticed that I often cite the Last Lynching in 1981, and that of Michael Donald. Well, I apologize. Let me explain.

Mentally, I had put this as an outpost because it extended the depth of the problem. I wanted to challenge myself, and others, to show how the problem didn’t end when others said it did, which was I forget when but typically seen around the late 1940s with the Moore Massacre in 1946. The USDOJ FBI famously botched the investigation.

But there were several lynchings in the late 1950s and 1960s during the “Civil Rights era”. Even white civil rights activists who came down from the north were killed, like June and Rev. OOO. These were labeled as ‘accidents’. And that’s where the problem comes in, with the labelling.

The 1979 Massacre at Greensboro, Norther Carolina is a great place to start rethinking about labels as well. Was this really a riot? If we think about how events are ordered: by whom, with what intent, and to where then perhaps you can see my point, as it relates to many ‘riots’ in the 1960s and 1970s.

First off, by whom, the actors. This event is ‘nice’ to look at in Greensboro because it starts with the KKK…
