It does not give justice to the horrific act and most people do not understand what a lynching is.
A lynching is a prolonged period of torture followed by murder. It is a terrible act of inhumanity.
This nation lynched WWII veterans. We need to accept this history.
Lynchings occurred in the south and north.
