Southern Women Attack Lynching
Ethridge, Willie Snow | December 10, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article throws light on a movement initiated by the Southern women, to eradicate mob violence by rope and faggot. Meeting in Atlanta and Dallas in November, they mapped out a definite program which they hope will eventually wipe out all mob violence. Their move into this bloody field, hitherto held undisputed by their men folks, was actuated by the recent increase of lynchings in the South. Their first official act was to issue a statement cutting the ground from beneath the men who salve their conscience with the soothing theory that they lynch to protect womanhood. The women informed them that they wanted no more of their red-handed courtesy.
