@MitchellWarning [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [02]: This is what Ron DeSantis will do eventually. Lack of black kids for studying black history in prison teachers for teaching African-American history. We cover-up, European brutality against blacks in America. It’s called woke.#PanAfrican.#Woke.#CRT.#BlackTwitter. [URL redacted]
"Eighty years ago, two young African-American men, Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith, were lynched in the town center of Marion, Ind. The night before, on Aug. 6, 1930, they had been arrested and charged with the armed robbery and murder of a white factory worker, Claude Deeter, and the rape of his companion, Mary Ball.
That evening, local police were unable to stop a mob of thousands from breaking into the jail with sledgehammers and crowbars to pull the young men out of their cells and lynch them.
News of the lynching spread across the world. Local photographer Lawrence Beitler took what would become the most iconic photograph of lynching in America. The photograph shows two bodies hanging from a tree surrounded by a crowd of ordinary citizens, including women and children. Thousands of copies were made and sold. The photograph helped inspire the poem and song 'Strange Fruit' written by Abel Meeropol -- and performed around the world by Billie Holiday.
